Hump Day Hilarity: AOC’s Green New Generation isn’t quite what she expected

Josh is ready with some biting satire today, taking a bite out of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ recent video rant about how we should stop having children to protect future climate.

“Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don’t turn this ship around and so it’s basically like, there’s a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an Instagram Live video showing her chopping vegetables in her kitchen.

“And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know, ‘Is it okay to still have children?’”

Somehow, Josh doesn’t think it’s going to turn out the way she expects.

Yay Boss! She’s done the work on this so how ’bout that. Thirty or forty years now and no one has come up with a better idea. So get in line, now.

Yes, not only will that relieve us of the onerous burden to “think about our grandchildren”… it frees up a lot of spare cash to spend on speedboats, ATV’s, gasoline, and airline tickets to popular IPCC conference destinations.

Umm, she really didn’t say, “Don’t have kids for the sake of future generations”, did she?

Like, there won’t be a “future generation” if we don’t HAVE kids.

She gets another “F”

The only people that will stop having kids are the ones who drank the kool-aide, so all is good.

I have this really bad feeling the next dark age will be actually dark. So dark the dancing unicorns will come out on moonless nights.

The Congresswoman :
““Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don’t turn this ship around and so it’s basically like, there’s a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult,” ”

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said in an interview published Wednesday the Green New Deal “goes beyond what our charge is” on climate change and has an agenda that is “not what we hope to achieve.”

Alex Berezow stepped up with a realistic alternative to the Green New Deal:
1. Start building Generation IV nuclear power plants right now.
2. In the meantime, phase out coal while embracing natural gas. Natural gas burns cleaner than coal.
3. Upgrade our energy infrastructure with a smart grid, smart meters, better capacitors, and better transmission lines.
4. Invest in solar and fusion power research.
5. As our energy infrastructure improves, electric car technology will improve along with it, making fossil fuels largely obsolete. (Airplanes might always need fossil fuels, though, much to AOC’s chagrin.)

It’s a shame her parents didn’t get the no children message.

It took me most of two days to get the joke but it finally dawned on me. If greenies have no kids and skeptics continue to have children, things will turn out peachy. In my younger days, being the good Catholic girl that I was, I wanted to have 12 kids. Until the first one was born. Big Ben. He was 1/3 my height and 1/10 my weight. So I leave it to more substantial women coming up the ranks to fullfill my dreams of a house full of kids.

Who ever thought the Democrats had more to fear from a rookie politician
than an entire Republican campaign ?
The thing is she is just being upfront about the policy priorities of the new hard left
Democrats taking over the party .
They will shut her down before more damage can be done .
No wonder they don’t show at committee meetings on saving the planet .
Green Kryptonite just hurts too much .

AOC is trolling for Uncle Tom’s cash . None of those declared candidates have a pot to pee in and
just have to suck up to the billionaire bag men running the party .
At least the $140 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation for helping the sell off of 20% of the USA uranium to Russia paid some bills .

Great idea. All believers that climate change is caused primarily by humans should immediately get themselves sterilized to leave the world for those humans that can think more rationally.
