Conway's response to Mitchell:
Garbage disposals were illegal in New York City until 1997, so its hardly surprising that she never saw one. I dont even think our condo at Trump World Tower, built in 2001, had one.
Douchebag Bill Mitchell's original tweet:
THINGS @AOC ACTUALLY SAID:
I am told this is a garbage disposal, Ocasio-Cortez said. Ive never seen a garbage disposal. I never had one in any place Ive ever lived. It is terrifying. I dont know what to use it for, or what its purpose is.

Sad to say but it seemed to us that rich people had disposals. I know very few people who have them. I know they aren't that expensive but when you struggle to make ends meet, several hundred dollars is better spent elsewhere.
Meant to post to OP.

Very routine
Never felt it was a rich man's luxury
