From the link,

Vitaliano told The Post: “She has to address these local issues. Her district is everywhere else in the US. Her heart is not in The Bronx.”

By contrast, he said, residents’ needs received much more attention under Rep. Joe Crowley, whom Ocasio-Cortez unseated in a surprise primary upset last year.

The longtime congressman’s Bronx district representative, Thomas Messina, regularly attended community board meetings, according to Vitaliano.

“Tommy cared about us,” Vitaliano said.





And there it is... Elections have consequences... Perhaps the people there shouldn't have voted for a socialist / commie.

Actually she did not win because she brought excitement. She only won because of apathy. She ONLY won the primary upset with ONLY 15,000 voters showing up to vote for her.

In contrast, we lost upstate pro-2A NY republican Congressman in that election cycle who had near 135,000 votes and lost the election.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is again trying to teach deep moral lessons using dubious “facts.”

On Monday, she took to Twitter to complain that “croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE,” yet “some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive?”

After critics noted that you can get the pastry for just $3.29 at the Au Bon Pain in Terminal C, she countered that they were “making my point for me. It’s not an argument against the price of the croissant — it’s about human worth.” But if the price doesn’t matter, why mention it at all?

Then, too, the minimum wage in the city hit $15 on Jan. 1, and most La Guardia workers have a $19 minimum under rules the Port Authority adopted last September.

Anyway, AOC’s either ignoring or ignorant of the opposing argument: Your wage is no kind of measure of your “human worth”; it’s just what your employer can pay — and if she can’t afford $15, then there’s no job at all.

Case in point: Mandatory wage hikes led to reduced employment in New York City restaurants last year, despite the overall growth of the local economy.


Then, too, working a lower-wage job also gives you the chance to gain the skills to earn a higher wage. Heck, we hear you can start off as a bartender and wind up earning six figures down in Washington.

Finally: Why is the co-author of the Green New Deal even at the airport? You can get a cheaper croissant en route on an Amtrak train and emit less carbon, too.
