My girl Liz Warren is also backing the protest.
Don't worry, Halliburton will find a new vendor for those steel cots. It'll only cost us $105,000 per bed.

All that protest tells me is that there will be plenty of job openings at Wayfair shortly. If I was a manager at the plant and workers walked out I would make it clear that the only reason for them to come back is to do termination paperwork.

Halliburton?
They seem to have their hand in every Homeland Insecurity or military budget overrun there is.

I don't think that you understand what exactly Halliburton does.

Since we’re going full on trite here...The 90s Democrats called, they want their buzzword back.
Concentration camps huh? Crowded, maybe, but let's get a grip and stop pandering to the emotions of those that aren't willing to think for themselves. AOC traveled to a border detention facility wearing all white and Gucci for a photo op, nothing more. Boycotting Wayfair? Really. When did Wayfair and throw away furniture become synonymous with steel cots? This is all stupid.
The Squad has been kind of quiet lately. I guess Omar is busy marrying her brother.
This is a real tweet from an elected congresswoman with 412k likes and 80k retweets. Our grandchildren are doomed.
"Billionaires need the working class.
The working class does not need billionaires."

They want 1 billionaire, them, the government. Then they will give money out to their leadership to create a few more billionaires.

LOL. It would be interesting to see what would happen if all "billionaires" shut down their respective businesses and investment for a couple of weeks.

Total confiscatory taxation would be the first unanimous legislation to pass in recent memory.

They can't do that.
their wealth is all tied up in publicly traded companies, and they don't have total control over the board of directors...

I have heard of them. How do you think they would change the scenario?

How would billionaires rebalancing their portfolios change the scenario? Quite significantly.
Just so we are clear. Do you agree with AOC? Simple yes or no answer

I don't think I need billionaires.
My boss isn't one. Our clients aren't billionaires.
Now, we've worked on some billion-dollar projects like cruise ships and theme parks - but both of those are owned by corporations. You don't "need" a billionaire to start a corporation. You can recruit 1,000 millionaires as investors and it's all the same.
Now, none of that means billionaires are "bad". They're dangerous. They could find private armies and take over parts of the world. But they haven't, so far.
So, she's technically right about this, but she's saying it to fire up people's animal instincts, for and against her, and position herself as the person who will "do something" even though in reality nothing can be done.
