- AOC’s Chief-Of-Staff Admits Green New Deal About Implementing Socialism – ‘It wasn’t originally a climate thing at all’ – It’s a ‘change-the-entire-economy thing’
Via Daily Wire: The Post notes that the admission came during an exchange between Saikat Chakrabarti, the chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sam Ricketts, climate director for Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D), who is a long shot running for president. The Post reports:
Chakrabarti had an unexpected disclosure. “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal,” he said, “is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.” Ricketts greeted this startling notion with an attentive poker face. “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Chakrabarti continued. “Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”

- ‘Make the Economy Extinct!’ – UK Proposal: 75% Wage Cut to Combat ‘Climate Change’
Labour’s Marxist shadow chancellor John McDonnell and, unfortunately, my favorite band Radiohead.McDonnell has suggested that a future Labour government might introduce a 10-hour working week and slash pay by 75 percent, as part of a radical plan to ‘combat climate change.’
