NYC Protip: the Q70 bus to LaGuardia is FREE 💸 all this week, starting today! 🚎 🚌 🚃 Shout out to the @MTA Please take the public transit to the airport if you can. It’s faster than getting stuck on the BQE behind a fender bender & walking from the highway (yes this happens!) — PolitiTweet.org

I mean seriously. Next time someone wants to brag about how capitalist they are & pop off about how much they believe in and love free markets, challenge them to name them. Name the significant markets that impact people’s lives that are actual free markets. You’ll learn a LOT — PolitiTweet.org

Your medicine would be much, much cheaper if the billions in PUBLICLY funded research and development of treatments were treated like public investments requiring a return rather than multi-billion giveaways to big pharma once a cure is developed. And so on and so forth. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Many folks run around claiming to be “free-market” capitalists, but what they actually are is captured market capitalists, using subsidies + restrictive policy to hold us hostage to fossil fuels, for-profit healthcare/housing, etc that many wouldn’t choose if they had the choice — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Same goes for pretty much every other industry - big pharma, Wall Street, etc etc — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Truly bizarre how in Washington it’s totally allowed + acceptable to accept hundreds of thousands in fossil fuel money + own millions in fossil fuel investments while brazenly killing clean energy policy, but what’s NOT acceptable is raising that fact &questioning the connection. — PolitiTweet.org
