AOC Disappointed To Learn The 'Free Market' Isn't A Grocery Store Where You Don't Have To Pay For Anything

[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C.‐Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has struggled to get by on her new six-figure salary, given the high cost of living in her luxurious Washington, D.C. crib.

So when she heard in passing that the United States has a "free market" economy, she was ecstatic. She immediately set out in an Uber to try to find one of the free markets, assuming they were grocery stores where you don't have to pay for anything.

"I'm really, like really excited," she said on a live Instagram video. "I thought the U.S. was all about oppressive capitalistic systems of inequality, but when I heard about these free markets, I realized we were in better shape than I had thought."

However, after her Uber had driven her all over the city for several hours, she hadn't found a single free market anywhere and had to settle for going to some stores where people are free to buy, sell, and exchange goods and services with one another.

#2 Funny, but still should be in the 'Opinion' section

Agreed. Humour rather than facts. Moved at 12:47 p.m. EDT.

#3 Maybe it's time for a The Bee or Not The Bee section. Think I'm kidding? For example:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Pregnant Woman Is Not a ‘Mother'
Biden Praises 10-Year-Old Girl as ‘Good Looking' and Holds Her Shoulders
Foreign Navy Screwed Up Its New $3 Billion Nuclear Missile Sub By Leaving Its Hatch Open
Ramadan Rage – Casualties Exceed 1,000 at End of 3rd Week: 531 Deaths, 556 Injuries

I tell ya, it's Crazy Town out there!
