1) By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried. If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful. #GreenNewDeal

I played Sim City when I was kid. I gather AOC did as well. It’s a very realistic model for how to create a national economy from scratch. It’s really all you need to know about it. Except the wall building feature, because those don’t work.

Except when you lose in the “RealCity - Socialist Planning” game, millions of innocent citizens die of starvation. Holodomor - 1932 Great Chinese Famine - 1959 Venezuela - present #CentralPlanningKills

Those weren’t real socialisms tho. And they never applied AOC’s clever strategy of printing enough money to allow for it all to pay for itself. Nor did they emphasize this is going to be “democratic” socialisms. That changes everything too.
