    Default AOC Disappointed To Learn The 'Free Market' Isn't A Store Where You Don't Pay

    WASHINGTON, D.C.—Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has struggled to get by on her new six-figure salary, given the high cost of living in her luxurious Washington, D.C. crib.

    So when she heard in passing that the United States has a "free market" economy, she was ecstatic. She immediately set out in an Uber to try to find one of the free markets, assuming they were grocery stores where you don't have to pay for anything.

    "I'm really, like really excited," she said on a live Instagram video. "I thought the U.S. was all about oppressive capitalistic systems of inequality, but when I heard about these free markets, I realized we were in better shape than I had thought."

    However, after her Uber had driven her all over the city for several hours, she hadn't found a single free market anywhere and had to settle for going to some stores where people are free to buy, sell, and exchange goods and services with one another.

    "This is basically Nazi Germany," she said. "All these people spending money they earned doing work to buy things of their own free will? Without the government allocating resources as they see fit?"

    That's a very immature and egocentric way of viewing the desire to improve living standards.

    Where's that 3% growth?

    Where are the $4,000-$9,000 wage increases?

    When's the debt gonna disappear?

    Where are the jobs?

    no it's realistic way of pointing out the "free stuff" doesn't add to economic development, or create jobs, etc.
    Plus it has to be done with taxation - more economic stagnation

    It is a satirical site that gets 'fact checked' by the likes of Snopes and CNN because God forbid there's a satirical site that mocks liberals.

    It isn’t fact checked, it is the same as “the Onion,” it is purposely outrageous, most know what it is, and few take it for anything other than humor. I offered four articles form the same site which I thought would convey my point

    Well you know, and I know, that it is Satire- and completely made up rubbish!

    The Babylon Bee is a site that is attributed to Satire. Here is another one of their current articles. But it is amazing how many Trumptards read this kind of shit and think it is actually true! LOL! Yes, it's pretty obvious for all to see how Trumptards get down into the Rabbit Holes when they feed off of total rubbish like these Fake News websites, and then go to Social Media sites and post this kind of total insane BULLSHIT! Donald Trump does this and so does his followers- Down one rabbit hole after another.

    Black Man Votes Republican, Immediately Turns White



    SANTEE JUNCTION, MO—At an early voting location this morning, African American citizen Conroy Ferguson turned white after voting Republican. Witnesses also claim he aged about 10 years and become perceivably more stuffy and unpleasant. Upon checking his wallet, Ferguson found his name had also changed to Clinton Hemsley.

    Hemsley attempted to return to his family but when he explained what had happened he was cast out—not for his new skin color but for voting Republican.

    There are now signs up at the voting location warning black voters that if they vote Republican they may also suddenly turn white.
