Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was forced to delete a tweet Monday saying 'you absolutely love to see it' while celebrating the price of oil crashing. The Democrat quickly removed the post after being criticized for celebrating job losses, but still used the economic collapse to plug her Green New Deal, which focuses on environmental issues. The price of U.S. oil crashed into negative for the first time in history Monday as demand dries up and producers effectively pay buyers to take barrels off their hands. In the latest never-before-seen number to come out of the economic coma caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the cost to have a barrel of U.S. crude

She is too dumb to realize it but cheap oil means that fossil fuel use will continue for years. Solar and wind couldn't compete before the oil drop and are now even more non-competitive.

This as thousands of her constituents are out of work and probably not getting paid.
What a witch!

She's an idiot barmaid.
And I was thinking exactly what #1 posted. As a matter of fact, I was talking with my financial advisor this morning, discussing some stocks we are buying, and mentioned that "alternative energy" was already in trouble, needing huge subsidies, and with the lower prices for conventional oil and gas, "green energy" will be even less competitive, less likely to be used by anyone who is sensible.

Her alma mater Boston University must have been giving out degrees like party favors in her year. Her, ahem, degree, in Economics from B.U. must be a never-ending source of embarrassment for them. Or are they teaching Socialism?

Tell me again where that idiot went to school. Where does she think the money that pays her salary comes from!!! Our taxes which come from our jobs which means we have to go back to work or she doesn't get paid. It is a domino effect. Geesh! She really is a Communist idiot.

I forgot one thing. Why doesn't she put up a bill to slash the salary of members of Congress and their staff. Let them see how it feels to take a financial hit.

What an amazing quote that will be used again, and again, in the election campaign.
And, for all the State, County and City employees who enjoy the tax revenues associated with oil and natural gas production, or from the people who make those steel pipes, pipelines and rig parts, the trucking companies who transport that stuff, the citizens who are being paid royalties for the use of their land - think about the budget cuts without those tax revenues.
What the current glut of oil means, it will be very cheap for a very long time. The idea of $100/barrel looks very far-fetched in the near-term. Inflation will remain low too.

#4, I would bet that they are proud of the garbage that they taught her.
They want ALL their students to come out thinking exactly the same way. Never assume that this isn't
exactly to plan by the college pukes.

I thought she and her comrades were layed off for 3 weeks. Oops. they're on vacation so San Fran Nan Can do An inventory on her ice cream. Still getting paid though. I'm sure they're WORKING FROM HOME.
Hey Dyslexia. Have Nancy FedEx you some of her favorite flavors. Not too much though. Her Freezer is bigger than yours.

About half of oil production goes to oil by-products. AOC, enjoy typing your tweets on your keyboard made of wood.

It pains me to know that this ignorant, non-essential twit is being paid while so many good, hard working people are out of work, with no pay, and with her sorry party holding up the return to normalcy!

Who is paying her publicist ? It must be her turn in the squad rotation. Rashida seems quiet.

This Cortez twit is a graduate in economics from Boston University, don't forget. She's made herself the poster child for toxic ignorance, though. What does her example say about an "education" at Boston University?
