      Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE POISON* Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

      So what I wonder here is, is she actually ignorant enough to think that ANY policy response -- literally any single one, include universal genocide of the whole human race -- would change this, or if she's just shitposting to please her rube audience.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1297233034639544323 …

      She’s referencing the problem of climate change, Jeff, not the discrete problem of the two hurricanes.

      Except she believes - or, what's just as bad, affects to believe - that the latter results from the former & can be fixed by the federal government.

      Well, we actually don’t know what has caused the latter. And that is just it—her tweet is obviously referrring to the larger problem of climate change. It’s a rhetorical misreading to claim that she believes the government can make the two hurricanes disappear.

      Replying to @baseballcrank @EsotericCD

      But she didn’t! She is using the two hurricanes as an example of a manifestation of climate change—the latter is “the problem” in her tweet. Even if she’s wrong and cc didn’t cause the two hurricanes, her meaning is still clear.

      Replying to @yeselson @baseballcrank @EsotericCD

      This is a plain language thing. Obviously she’s not making both a small and ridiculous claim about the government fixing the hurricanes. She’s making a large and plausible claim—but one you are free to disagree with—that government can play an important role in remedying cc.

      You start with so much contempt for her you can’t fairly read her clearly written text. That’s a bad way to read, as you know. You wouldn’t have been a successful lawyer if you read opposing counsel’s briefs that way.

      To the contrary, making the other guy own what he's plainly trying to sell the court is a big part of the law.

          But you have to first understand what he’s trying to sell. You’ve completely misread her tweet.

          To quote you Dan, “nowhere in the above Tweet-or anywhere else-“ does she argue that the govt can prevent two hurricanes at the same time. Nowhere.
