No one said they are criminals, the threat isn't jail time it's bad PR. Corporate image does matter, that's why big companies bother touting their morality and philanthropy. Corporations generally don't actually have any moral code beyond the bottom line, which is why exposure matters.VinceBordenIII wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 1:16 pmShe seemed silly, to me. The kids in cages thing. Childish. The guy doesn’t know how to answer her questions because there is no answer. For example, For profit prisons, whether you agree with them or not, are legal. WF did financing. So what? They don’t run them. They’re not criminals.analhamster wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 9:20 am
It's a bank, it would finance the clubbing of baby seals if there was a profit margin and no PR fallout. Thing is, it wouldn't do that because the PR fallout would cost it more money than the soft warm gloves made. It's not all about whether an investment is legal anymore, that's something competent CEOs have to keep in mind.
The main takeaway is her consistent performance interrogating witnesses though. All these righty memes about what a moron she is who can't string a coherent sentence together run up against the fact that she is clearly not.
The typical congresscritter will begin by thanking everyone in the room, then ram in some talking points for the reelect, then lob a softball or two to a friendly witness or attack a hostile one. It's a boring performance art where they all went to the same drama school. She gets straight down to business with relevant researched questions on the topic and has the smarts to pursue where they lead. Agree with her positions or not, this is how oversight should be conducted.
Wouldn't kill her to show a little more cleavage though.

Cheezy thinks because he owns a small business that he has to defend Big Business 'cause he is part of the Club. To paraphrase George Carlin. There is a Big Club but Cheezy, your not in it. Ms. AOC is doing exactly what she is supposed to be doing. Representing the interests of the average American and providing oversight over these big corporations who have been running unchecked for long enough.
And why bring up "evil white man"? race has nothing to do with her questions but somehow that's where you go with it? kind of telling isn't it?
I don't think I'm a part of any club.
When big business does something illegal or wrong, fuck em. See how easy that is? When they don't, they don't. I'm not gonna demonize or hate them when they've done nothing wrong like you. If they have done something illegal they need to be held accountable. I think Amazon and the like paying zero Federal taxes is bullshit and they need to pay. When they get too big or monopolistic they need to be broken up and/or regulated. Now, are those the views of a big business butt-boy or someone who looks at the whole picture? Try it sometime.

Just keep mocking and marginalizing this woman - please continue. She is going to wind up being like Al Franken, one of the most intelligent and prepared persons in the room on any subject she has to rule on.

She tries; I'll give her that. It seems like she really cares too. Her passion will only get her so far though. Pissing off her own party isnt exactly the way to make it in DC.

“I’ve made it clear on several occasions, and let me say it again: The Senate will not take up any proposal that does not have a real chance of passing this chamber and getting a presidential signature,” Mr. McConnell said. “Let’s not waste the time. Let’s not get off on the wrong foot, with House Democrats using their new platform to produce political statements rather than serious solutions.”
