1. well, if she would stay in her lane she wouldn't get mocked!!!!

[brush]

4. I tend to agree. Is that a thing to take credit for?

I mean I predict more people will die from covid today.

[Escurumbele]

20. What??? "Stay in her lane"??? That is for republicans, not Democrats

What is this, I read it and I don't believe it...So you want a party of Lemmings, "just sit down and stay quiet, your opinion is not valid, you must follow the leader"...I don't believe this...

AOC is an asset to the Democratic Party, even President Obama thinks so, he wants a bigger platform for her and you want her to sit in the corner and keep her mouth shut???

I really don't believe I would read something like this in DU.

9. And crowd-funding to pay medical bills

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. While conservatives are shoveling hundreds of $millions to Trump in his "vote fraud" scam

that he's pocketing 80 cents on the dollar...

[Lunabell]

3. But people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk can afford to buy more yachts during this pandemic.

Yay.

5. Thankfully, among the Biden administration's priorities is

strengthening the purchasing power of those not in the one percent.

I imagine Rep. Ocasio-Cortez will be briefed by her staff of professionals soon on the relevant policy positions of Biden... to better avoid any haziness.

[SophieJean]

16. This is happening NOW.

[KPN]

25. Haziness? Did she say anything about Biden or

his future administration?

[underpants]

6. Well football gave us part of "Bread and Circus" we just forget the first part.

[MontanaMama]

7. Are we a shithole country now?

If not, we seem to be on that trajectory.

[onetexan]

8. we're about there now :(

[TeamPooka]

[uponit7771]

[burrowowl]

17. We've been there for longer than tRump

[rickyhall]

11. Who's responsible? That goddamned turtle.

In most states shoplifting is a felony, is it not? I know it is Texas.

[KPN]

26. Dickensian America brought to you by the KGOP.

[dlk]

13. Republicans did this to us

Thank you GOP!

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. I DO remember that - vividly.

She was way out in front of this, but truthfully, a lot of what else has happened didn't require Nostradamus to suss out.

[George II]

15. To answer her question.... NO But.....

This has been a problem in NYC and other cities for at least a century when times are bad. During the Great Depression there were shanty towns showing up around the city and country, dubbed "Hooverville".

In New York City there were Hoovervilles in Riverside Park, East 10th Street, and Red Hook (Brooklyn).

One of the biggest was in Central Park in Manhattan:



There were others in Seattle, Central Ohio, St. Louis, and Washington DC.

It's no surprise that such conditions are returning due to the pandemic. Now, the question that should be posed to our members of Congress and Senate is:

What do you propose to do about it?
