Stupid Things Ocasio-Cortez Says: Megathread

[Ibanez]

So then, if all big banks are bad as you say, what constitutes a big bank? At what point does a regular, law abiding, good for the country, not big bank, automatically move into law-breaking, bad for the country territory? What's the measure of size of a bank we can use to know when they're automatically bad?

I don't know, if they make billions in profits every quarter and still feel the need to open accounts in customers' names without their knowledge? How about bringing the world economy to the brink of economic collapse?

Fucking Wells Fargo. I've know a lot of people working there and they all hate it.


But WF pays some serious $$$ and bonuses so they stay.

He used to be on Morning Joe a ton and he's also about as Wall Street/wealth establishment entitled as you can get. Clueless about the real economy.

Fine, kalm.

But the idea that Amazon was "defeated" here is just silly. NYC basically rescinded their end of the agreement and Amazon just said "fine, I'll just go elsewhere". She's just showing she's a clueless dope again.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Now shes already into corruption with house email accounts. The left doesnt think the laws apply to them yet again

[JohnStOnge]

Lots of people like breaking laws and corruption. Look at JSO, Mainejeff and the other anti americans. .

I don't like corruption at all. That's on reason why I'm so anti Trump. Trump is corruption to the nth power. It's the most corrupt Administration of my lifetime headed by the most corrupt person to hold the President's position in my lifetime. And I'm old.

Africans and Arabs are always problems.

As are Southern white "Christians".

Yeah, all those Southern white Christians are wreaking havoc in Europe with their grooming and rape gangs, riots, establishing no-go zones, etc.

But what about southern white Christian bears?

Some heavy editing but yes, effective for non gullible types.

No, they are wreaking havoc in good 'ole US of A.

Yep, its funny to watch that happen over there and then have these left wing asshats say "lets bring that here"!!!

[kalm]

We have a highly corrupt banking/political system based in legalized bribery...so yes. But even if the were on the up and up, lack of competition is bad.

Welcome to America!

So then, if all big banks are bad as you say, what constitutes a big bank? At what point does a regular, law abiding, good for the country, not big bank, automatically move into law-breaking, bad for the country territory? What's the measure of size of a bank we can use to know when they're automatically bad?

Complicated subject, and while I indeed graduated from the Harvard of the Palouse, I'm afraid I'm not that well versed in anti-trust law (rec management major). Ivytalk might be able to help out a bit in this regard. The reason I replied to Z's post is that he used to be anti Wall Street and have a let them all burn attitude but that conflicted with his comment in this thread. I'd start with ones that have the potential to bring down the entire economy or require a massive bailout by the federal government.

I favor competition and if necessary, socialism that keeps people from shiving each other in the streets rather than socialism that requires you to decide whether to sell the place in the Hamptons or at Aspen.

I think we can all find a reasonable threshold.

Catholic priests and Paterno's lieutenants have done a pretty good job with pulling their weight.

[AZGrizFan]

If he's "clueless", what's that make AOC?

Can you make up your damn mind on whether you want to defend big banks, monopolies, and crony capitalists or the co-op credit union industry that is better suited to enhance a stable economy and help the middle class?

Jebus!

What does one have to do with the other? Calling HIM clueless when compared to AOC is just retarded. It doens’t mean I LIKE the guy, or am defending him, his policies or what he stands for. Is that too nuanced for you?

[AZGrizFan]

Y’all ever see the movie “The Big Short”? Great flick...perfectly explains what the banks/brokerage houses did...

In my view, anti-trust enforcement has declined generally over the past 30 years or so, and not just in the banking industry. I took the course back in 1977-78, when there was more of a “Big is bad” ethos, and events like conglomerate mergers were just coming into vogue. Now you have Bank of America owning Merrill Lynch. The Justice Department likes to brag about things like the number of branches that it forced a big bank to divest before completing a merger with a former rival. I can tell you, based on anecdotal evidence only, that there are fewer antitrust law specialists at work in large law firms.

How many Southern white Christians are Catholic?

Paterno had one pedo coach and he got rid of him after PA law enforcement decided not to arrest him, despite an observed confession to the mother of one of his victims.

That's the second time you've made a reference to bears. I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. I suspect you don't either.

Yep. Great movie and it does a good job of explaining how they screwed everyone.

Don’t get mad at me because you’re not smart enough to read what you’re quoting...

I didn't quote anything concerning bears. If you are talking about that stupid Guardian article (redundant, I know), I didn't quote anything from it.

You gonna apologize, bro?

Yeah...I apologize for accusing Citgrad for "quoting" it. I should have said "reply".

Yeah...let’s see I made a clearly tongue in cheek post about immigration supported by a link to an article about polar bear migration problems.

I guess I’ll consider you at Cgrad’s level of intelligence.

And sense of humor...

Oh c'mon. That's below the belt.
