#7 There's a lot of people out there named Milton. She got her swizzle sticks crossed up a bit, that's all.

#8 more disturbing than the mistake in naming is the rest of AOC's lecture with its assumption of the obviously false labor theory of value and ignorant claims about living standards

#10 Back in 1930 regular folk didn’t expect walk-in closets stuffed full of clothes, a separate family room for the big screen tv and a computer for gaming, smart phones for everyone in the family, cars for all the adults, and granite countertops, an island, and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen of their 2,000 square foot house in the suburbs. Most nowadays could pay for the 1930 lifestyle working 15 hours/week — the remaining 25 hours/week is needed to live as we do now.

#11 she must have read as a child.

#14 What #19 TW said...
I bought an electronic rice cooker and bought bulk beans and dried rice. Cutting way back of fast food and frozen TV dinners as well. The food part of my budget imploded.
