OCASIO-CORTEZ: ‘INEVITABLE’ GLOBAL WARMING GOVERNANCE WILL CREATE ‘ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND RACIAL JUSTICE’
New York City’s incoming socialist congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, says there will only be benefits, and no costs, to passing a raft of new climate change laws. In particular, she said, a new system of global warming governance will usher in “economic, social, and racial justice.” suggesting the federal government should nationalize technology the automaker Tesla developed following its receipt of tax subsidies.
“As a matter of fact, it's not just possible that we will create jobs and economic activity by transitioning to renewable energy, but it's inevitable that we are going to create jobs,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “It's inevitable that we're going to create industry, and it's inevitable that we can use the transition to a hundred percent renewable energy as the vehicle to truly deliver and establish economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America.”
The comments came during a recent Bernie Sanders-hosted symposium on global warming.
So much wrong in just a few sentences.
"only be benefits, and no costs" - who pays for this? We The People through our tax dollars. The government does not make that much money on its own - the money it has comes from the taxes that we pay.
If the Federal Government nationalized Tesla's technology, Tesla and any other manufacturer would have zero impetus to develop new technology that could be stolen. Why would they spend money on engineering and development when they know it is going to be userped by the commies in power.
And don't get me started on the whole Social Justice Warrior crap.
