Ocasio-Cortez on discovering garbage disposals: ‘It is terrifying’

Wait … what? WHO SAID that was a garbage disposal?

That is a manicure machine! Stick your hand in, flip the switch to on! :rofl:

Exactly, right? Like she grew up in a yurt.

But, I do doubt she ever had the manners to stay and clean up. That is the only element of plausibility I can find in the story. :wink:

I am sure that most of her young adult life, she didn’t have to worry about any garbage disposal. She is from the Bronx. All they know is shredding. So, I am sure she shredded documents when she was a teen. No reason to shove any of those “important” documents down the drain. :joy:

She was a bartender. Yet, she looks upon the big metal box in amazement: “What is this wondrous box that creates Winter in the Summer?” “Let me tell the world about this!” :rofl:

Lol…she’s one uping middle class joe…

Apparently garbage disposers were banned in NYC in the 90s

Good find, supperhey.

But it still does not excuse a person not knowing what they are and wondering if they are “environmentally sound”.

I think any reasonable person would look into this before spouting off at the cuff.

She is NOT from the Bronx. She is from Westchester County, NY which is a suburb of the NYC metro area and one of the wealthiest counties in the United States. She’s a typical NY limousine liberal / armchair socialist. She knows exactly what a garbage disposal is. She just acts like a fucking moron for the attention.

Simple logic and common sense will lead a person of normal intellect to deduce that the garbage disposals are environmentally sound. The scale of environmentality goes:

Compost bins > in-sink food disposals >>>>>>>>>>>>> trash / landfills

I think about 10~25% of landfills are composted of food waste, so its always beneficial to recycle these into compost heaps where they can be re-purposed into either fertilizers, biofuel or animal feeds (?)

Ahh…ok

I knew she was from New York. Lol

This angry white dude and his establishment democrat friends want that seat back. After all, he was their star fund raiser.

Which is the glaring point of the whole matter that makes her a laughing stock. She clearly shows that she lacks normal intellect and deduction skills over a basic item as a garbage disposal.

Any reasonable person might just be intellectually curious enough to research the matter. But not AOC. If it is new to her, by God it is new to everyone in the world.

She cannot grasp the basics of a garbage disposal yet she can propose a “green deal” as though she is the end all of authority on the matter for you and for me. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

As the other threads point out, she may be an actress or a front to a political organization tho Im sure she puts her own quirks in that “green new deal” as well when she mentioned cow fart.

I doubt anyone would waste their money on her. Actually, come to think of it she could have been hired by conservatives and she is doing a bang up job making the democrats look bad. :thinking: If that is the case, man she is worth every penny.

The 5D underwater basket weaving intergalactic quantum tunneling Chinese chess is real.

Now that AOC knows how to use a garbage disposal, she finally has a place to store all of her policy proposals.

So which media outlet will start the avalanche of think pieces about how garbage disposals are terrible for the environment and should be banned? My money’s on Buzzfeed.

I watched the whole video. I don’t think she learned how to use the garbage disposal. She just turned it on and off. Her policy proposals are safe, unfortunately.

Speaking of learning to use one…

Here’s a hint:

…and I had trouble with cabbage a time or two.

Spoons don’t seem to go down well either.
