Doc Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 This is great. Apparently AOC's abuela's home in PR was damaged during Hurricane Maria (almost 4 years ago) and AOC claims she still hasn't gotten the money to fix it because of, you guessed it, Trump. Despite the fact that AOC is a Congress critter and has money now, she's been making dear old abuela live in "squalid conditions" the whole time. Well conservative commentator Matt Walsh felt bad and started a GoFundMe page for abuela and it raised over $100K in 11 hours. But it was shut down because abuela apparently doesn't want that money, she wants government money. If that doesn't sum almost everything up, I don't know what does.

People are living I terrible conditions from the storm. The same storm that Trump used as a photo op. AOC has money. Her abuela is fine. She has said as much. It’s not about her abuela needing help but all the other parts of the country needing help. Some right wing idiot makes a GoFundMe to troll AOC. If AOC accepts the money, her abuelas home is better (again not needed as AOC said she’s fine) but what about the rest of Puerto Rico? It’s sad how dumb the right has become.

Smollett and AOC are basically admitting that they are making up stories, that manipulate people’s emotions, just to push an agenda...kinda hard to respect that kind of behavior, regardless what side of the aisle you’re on...

She even said her abuela was fine in those tweets!: Just over a week ago, my abuela fell ill. I went to Puerto Rico to see her- my 1st time in a year+ bc of COVID. This is her home. Hurricane María relief hasn’t arrived. Trump blocked relief $ for PR. People are being forced to flee ancestral homes, & developers are taking them.

In the aftermath of María, the Trump admin oversaw two key items: handing millions in public $ to unqualified donor pals (ex Whitefish). The other was to impose extremely difficult eligibility rules for Puerto Ricans, which allowed mass rejections of recovery fund applications. I want to be clear - while Trump admin had a major role, it wasn’t just them. La Junta, local policies, etc were all on the same page: policies that pushed out local families. To turn this around, we need audits & get recovery relief to people ASAP, without the onerous strings. And for the record - my abuela is doing okay.

You're the one who didn't read it and has no reading comprehension. I never said dear abuela wasn't doing well: I said AOC's apparently been making her live in lousy conditions waiting for the government (as always) to do something. You then claimed her house was fine, which would make her a liar. Neither is a good look, but that's the AOC we've all come to expect. As for Trump allegedly holding things up, yeah, again another tired tactic. Why haven't the $8B in funds given last month been used to fix abuela's house? Could it be that no matter what they give and what conditions (or lack thereof), the corruption in PR is so bad that not much help will go to those who need it? No, it has to be Trump's fault, or at least she has to mention his name to get that dog whistle or whatever you call it out there. Oh and the clincher was calling what's happening in PR "systemic."

I don’t know if you know how to read or have comprehension on your reading ability but your take makes me think you’re illiterate. Adding ***** jobs isn’t a good thing. Hey we would employee X amount of people, yet we won’t pay them a wage to support where they live so they need to feast on the government teet. Like are you an idiot? If you’re a Republican you’d support AOC here. Why bring in jobs and people where they will need more government support because a company can’t function without the government subsiding employees? The entire argument here is that government is more capable of making choices for people then they are as individuals. To bash a job because it does pay enough is amazingly short sighted and shows true economic ignorance. If no one wanted the jobs they would not apply, if there was not a market of employees Amazon would not build it, which does not even mention that Amazon has a ton of high paid jobs, you act like all the jobs are the basic warehouse jobs.

Some of these politicians are ghoulish. As I alluded to in my original post, the purpose was just to bash Trump because they just can't quit him and need their boogie man now that things are going South for Joey. You won't read too much about tia's bodyslam of her niece though so I guess mission accomplished. 5 hours ago, Buffalo Timmy said: The entire argument here is that government is more capable of making choices for people then they are as individuals.

The idiocy is thinking that these great paying jobs are going to materialize from nothing. Which I guess is why they want illegals to enter the country: so they do them.

unbillievable Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Businesses are literally competing with the Government for workers. It's quite brilliant move by Democrats to force wage increases. I never thought I would ever live to see people get paid more to sit at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t that kind of what is happening in our economy right now? All the crap jobs that don’t pay enough, no one is applying for and there is a major labor shortage? Again, tell me why should the government subsidize businesses with government handouts like food stamps? For example, X place of business needs to hire someone at $10 an hour. Without the ability to hire someone at $10 an hour, the business would not be profitable. However, for someone to take a job at $10 an hour they need food stamps in order to live. So, the business is only able to survive because they can hire people at a reduced wage because that person can get food stamps to survive. In an ideal world, we have an increase in minimum wage. We will see businesses go under that can’t support themselves without government subsidized labor, we see less people on the government dependence and we decrease taxes due to that.

No one is applying for jobs because they can get paid not to work and not look for a job more than if they worked- that is a broken government. I can't argue with the stupidity that argues govt must subsidize people's lifestyles and then complain the companies don't pay enough. The problem is govt and peoples choices, not the business. I had to move from Buffalo to Florida to find a good job. I had to leave my extended family for us to find jobs. That move made us about 50k extra in the first 12 months and more since, but life in America gives you choices all the time, when you blame others for your crap choices you are a liberal Edited June 13, 2021 by Buffalo Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
