Civilian Climate Corps: AOC's New Plan to Force Unions on Kids

[GURPS]

AOC sees a future when a unionized “civilian climate corps” will put people to work ” with “no age limit to participation” on “the externalities of climate change, in reforesting land, in carbon mitigation.”
Ocasio-Cortez went on (and on):

“We have a student loan crisis, a housing crisis, a climate crisis … how on earth can we possibly overcome this? I think one of the ways that we overcome it is by being one of the most unionized workforces and unionized generations in American history. By collecting our power as workers in the economy, we can take our futures back.”

The tricky part? The work done by her civilian climate corps is “not profitable.”
Exactly how we’re supposed to get back to the “thriving economy” the U.S. had “when we were kids,” according to AOC, while indulging in multibillion-dollar money-losing boondoggles, is a question best left to a Boston University-trained economics major.

Despite the easy-to-mock dumbskullery behind Ocasio-Cortez’s initiative, as always, there is a method to her seeming madness.

According to a joint press release, Ocasio-Cortez and Markey’s “Civilian Climate Corps for Jobs and Justice Act” would hire a “diverse and equitable” group of 1.5 million young Americans to “complete federally-funded projects that help communities respond to climate change and transition to a clean economy.”

“The CCC would put 1.5 million young people to work strengthening our communities and preserving our lands — doing everything from remediating blight and maintaining trails to creating entirely new green spaces,” remarked Ocasio-Cortez. “The program also provides the support needed to turn this work into a career path — including childcare, eldercare and tax-free educational grants to be used for student loan debt payments or higher education.”

“To combat the interlocking crises of the moment — climate change, racial injustice, a global pandemic, and income inequality — our government has an opportunity to equitably reimagine an idea from the past and tailor it to meet the present and the future,” Markey said. “The Civilian Climate Corps will provide an opportunity for millions of Americans from every walk of life to earn a good wage while serving their communities and training to transform our economy.”

The Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) was started due to widespread unemployment caused by the stock market crash of 1932. We don't have any of the problems that caused this to be started. There is no widespread unemployment, in fact there are more jobs than there are workers who want them. The only thing this would do would be to put more people on the government payroll and move the country another couple of notches towards socialism.

AOC Blames ‘Climate Change’ For Viral Video Of Woman Swimming In NYC Subway Sewage

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated that “climate change” was the cause of recent flooding in New York City.
Recently, a video of a woman climbing through a flooded New York City subway went viral on social media. The water had a dark brown color with various debris floating on its surface.

Commenting on the video, Ocasio-Cortez touted the importance of combating climate change.

“The Green New Deal, which is a blueprint to create millions of good jobs rebuilding infrastructure to stem climate change & protect vulnerable communities, is unrealistic,” she said sarcastically. “Instead we will do the adult thing, which is take orders from fossil fuel execs &make you swim to work.”

I would like to see the State put some blacktop on the worn out highways in Maryland.

Could she be talking about this?

Obama, July 2, Colorado Springs, CO:

[As] president I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots [from 75,000] and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals, like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their effort connected to a common purpose.

People of all ages, stations and skills will be asked to serve. Because when it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem – they are the answer. So we are going to send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We’ll call on Americans to join an energy corps, to conduct renewable energy and environmental clean-up projects in their neighborhoods all across the country.

We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, and to be there for our military families. And we’re going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set.

We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We need to use technology to connect people to service. We’ll expand USA Freedom Corps to create online networks where American can browse opportunities to volunteer. You’ll be able to search by category, time commitment and skill sets. You’ll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities.

This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda and make their own change from the bottom up.

I'm imagining a well funded Guardian's Angel or Black Panther.

Think I'm gonna build an underground bunker in the hills somewhere.

Stupidly!

I have wondered how her district feels about electing her. They/she are scary; to say the least. Do they regret it? We shall see. God bless the USA. What a mess. And, no. I will not be answering my door to strangers.

You have the best avatar, ever, on this forum. If you ever leave the forum, please bequeath it to me. Thanks.

Edit…My father’s name was Robert. We sre definitely kindred spirits.
