The mysterious case of AOC’s scrubbed 'Green New Deal' details

[TalkRadio1]

On Feb. 5, the congressional office of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted a new blog entry under “energy issues” detailing her "Green New Deal" proposal and answering “frequently asked questions.”

By the afternoon of Feb. 7, Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., removed the document from her website without explanation but following backlash and even ridicule over the radical plans outlined within it, including a call to "eliminate emissions from cows or air travel" — which would functionally ban the latter — and to provide “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.”

As for the blog post, it has not been restored to her congressional website as of Saturday morning but is available via archive and its text saved online.

There are no new entries under the site’s “Energy Issues” section, just a picture of an oil rig, where the post once appeared. The page at the original web address for the post*says "Page Not Found."

The only reason this person is getting any attention at all is so she can be exploited to help the opposition. That poor old son of a bitch who died this week after being in congress 60 years...nobody heard of him before. This girl is incredibly insignificant. She's being exploited, and she doesn't even see it. No one is afraid of her. She's an idiot. The Democrats should tell her to shut the fuck up and stop pretending to be important. Pelosi effectively did that over the Green Deal shit.

Why are you lying again?

From the document

The Green New Deal sets a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, at the end of this 10-year plan because we aren’t sure that we will be able to fully get rid of, for example, emissions from cows or air travel before then.

"an early draft of a FAQ that was clearly unfinished and that doesn’t represent the GND resolution got published to the website by mistake

There's nothing in the house resolution talking about income for people unwilling to work.

Do you recognize that there's a difference between AOC's congressional website and the House Resolution? And that it's AOC's congressional website which has been "cleansed"?

Do you also understand WHY it was "cleansed"?

If it was unfinished, why was it (an outline and FAQ) put out there for all to see on AOC’s website? I didn’t see any note about it being a rough draft.
It clearly mentioned paying people who were unable or unwilling to work.

It was removed fom her website when so many people ridiculed it, and it should have been ridiculed.
It’s pathetic left wing blue sky loonacy.

Yes, I do, they said it was a draft that wasn't ready for publication. It's not the first time wrong documents have been put online.

I also understand the lie on the part of TalkRadio who took part of a sentence out of context to make it appear they want to eliminate co2 emissions from cows and airplanes when it clearly uses them as examples of something that can't be done?

You obviously don't know anything about running a web site.

By your logic Fox doesn't know the difference between Patti LaBelle and Aretha Franklin (actually that might be true)

I downloaded the outline from AOC’s website. I can read. I know what it said. It’s a socialist’s wet dream.
Sorry....all their excuses are BS, they just told us what they want.

You believe different? Good for you Mr. Gull A. Bull.

 

[Boxlicker101]

"Unable to work" is one thing and it's probably not much different from the current system, assuming it can be shown that the person in question really is handicapped. With the exceptions of students and nursing mothers, I think of saying "unwilling to work" as another way of saying "lazy." I very much don't like the idea of supporting lazy people.

It's a Dukakis moment.

It's possible that's true.

If so, what does it say about the competency of those running the website? Or the brilliance of those promoting the idea?

The whole "Green New Deal" is something that should be looked at with skepticism. You know why? Not because the idea of conservation and environmental protection is bad, but because the implications inherent in it are ridiculous.

Who SERIOUSLY believes that banning air travel in favor of high speed rail is going to get you from LA to Paris in a few hours? Not to mention that high speed rail doesn't do squat to harvest crops in the field.

And how does anyone believe that eliminating the ENTIRE petroleum industry can be done in 10 years in favor of some as yet unknown energy system?

Is it possible? Maybe. With a lot of luck and more than a few MAJOR scientific and engineering breakthroughs. Plus a boatload of money the Government doesn't have and won't have if the rest of the "deal" is implemented.

So her plan was to have a first draft of blithering nonsense which was suddenly going to become not blithering nonsense once she did spell check on it? At some point she handed off a draft of this to someone who put it up. Why would you be disseminating a draft, even internally, with absolute nonsense in it? Why would you write sentences that contain absolute nonsense?

Regarding cows and planes she specifically says "by then." This means that she doesn't know if she can solve that little problem within 10 years but that at some point in the distant future it might be solvable. (Spoiler alert: it is not solvable.)

Did you graduate from the ocasio-cortez school of comprehension?

 

[Boxlicker101]

How do you stop cows from farting? Is there any major difference between that and a pig or sheep farting? Or a human farting? Maybe if people quit growing beans it might help.

 

[bellisarius]

AOC is beyond ridicule now, I just think of her as Gracie Allen without George Burns.

The left has elevated self-loathing to cult status. They murder their own babies. Do you think they even care about the future of the human race?

 

[AnneSexton]

I mean, I’m no farmer or agricultural scientist or anything, but I imagine we could start with reasonable limitations on the mass production of beef and dairy. It’s probably a safe assumption that none of us (in America) really need them in the quantities we consume them.

Of course. Geat thinking there comrade.
Burger control.
Congess can create the DBC, (Department of Beef Control) and put thousands to work in the new Burger Police Force. The’ll be fine if they arm them like the EPA.

Wonder what the leftists will do when Mexicans start smuggling in cattle across the border instead of heroin. A wall maybe?

You’ll need a background check before you can get one. And, only one per month.
