The right's obsession with AOC
(04-10-2019, 01:04 PM)BmorePat87 Wrote: I disagree with this take. I saw it as her making a point regarding how we value things in our economy. Many are willing to value a pastry at an airport at $7 but many are unwillingly to value anyone's hour of labor at $15. We don't question the $7 croissant. We all recognize that it's value is tied to the restricted nature of an airport and we accept it. I see her as challenging us to accept that everyone's hour of work should at least be worth $15.

I don't think the use of the croissant makes it's a particularly good comparison, but she clearly was not complaining about croissants being too expensive or asking for free croissants as the spineless senator from Texas suggested she was. 

Who doesn't question the $7.00 croissant?  I could win the lottery and I'm still not giving you $7.00 for a croissant.
