AOC Wants You To Be EXCITED To Lose Your Job To A Robot

AOC thinks you should be EXCITED to lose your job to a robot- because if you’re unemployed you’ll have more time to do art and think about science!

Yes, I’m serious.

According to Daily Caller:

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said people should be “excited” rather than fearful about the prospect of robots in the workplace at a conference in Austin, Texas, Saturday.

Ocasio-Cortez’s comments came during a Q-and-A session at the South By Southwest Conference & Festivals, according to The Verge.

The self-described Democratic-Socialist really worked the crowd at the festival, calling the current state of America “garbage,” blasting capitalism, Ronald Reagan, the New Deal and even political moderates.

I wrote about THAT doozy here. She really ran her mouth that day.

But anyway… ABOUT THOSE ROBOTS:

As the congresswoman sees it, automation presents opportunities for people not to work, and because people are scared of not having jobs, fear of workplace robots comes from deep-rooted societal issues.

“We should be excited by [automation]. But the reason we’re not excited by it is because we live in a society where if you don’t have a job, you are left to die. And that is, at its core, our problem,” insisted Ocasio-Cortez.

Ocasio-Cortez challenged the audience to think of what they could do with their time if they didn’t have to work the kinds of jobs that automated labor could do for us.

“We should be excited about automation, because what it could potentially mean is more time educating ourselves, more time creating art, more time investing in and investigating the sciences, more time focused on invention, more time going to space, more time enjoying the world that we live in,” she said, noting that “not all creativity needs to be bonded by wage.”

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

So basically she thinks the ROBOTS should do all the work… and we’ll just get money for existing. So robots will work while we do “art” and everyone will have money from the money trees we’re planting.

GOT IT.

No WONDER she thinks it’s good that she chased 25 THOUSAND jobs out of her district. She doesn’t think people should HAVE jobs. They should just like… investigate science and stuff.

Seriously?
