As Twitchy told you, Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has at last released her landmark Green New Deal. And now that we’ve had a chance to get a closer look at the details, we’ve gotta say, we’re impressed. We’ve never seen this many pies in the sky before — good thing we’re getting rid of all the airplanes! And buildings:
Ummmmmm the Green New Deal outline that AOC's office released says her plan is to "upgrade or replace" EVERY BUILDING IN THE COUNTRY https://t.co/sjBy6ammGX

And for those who don't want to or can't afford to "upgrade or replace" their homes? https://t.co/evzFBm2sUE

Don’t worry … the Green New Deal has got plenty of provisions for unable or unwilling participants:
I also like the part about the deal guaranteeing "economic security" for people "unwilling to work" pic.twitter.com/VHjSgLPrpI

Economic security for those who are unwilling to work.
LOLOLOLOL

This stuff is the type of genius we’ve come to expect from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ‘n pals.

The Green New Deal could have used a light edit or two before it was released. https://t.co/q8MbmVRwBR

It’s also pretty light on, you know, science.
"We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast…" ??? https://t.co/21WH5F1ZuA

Since all cows fart, the Green New Deal is calling for getting rid of all the cows in the country. cc: @peta pic.twitter.com/iTznHdQ1Pn

I'm convinced the Green New Deal was written by a poorly informed group of high school seniors working on a class projecthttps://t.co/EnWe3hijvJ pic.twitter.com/200sxVDHjK

Now that’s just silly. Even poorly informed high school seniors are smarter than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
So in summary, AOC's Green New Deal calls for:
☑️ Eliminating cows
☑️ Eliminating air travel
☑️ Upgrading or replacing EVERY BUILDING IN THE US
☑️ Car charging stations everywhere
☑️ Replacing the 5 million jobs this will kill with gov. guaranteed jobshttps://t.co/2dlp6EFpSg pic.twitter.com/jHF5Mr11rQ— Matt Whitlock ?? (@mattdizwhitlock) February 7, 2019
Oh, don’t forget the part where they admit that they have no idea how they’re gonna pay for this thing:

That’s the sweetest icing on this whole damn cake.
The Green New Deal is what happens when the tide pod eating generation decides to make public policy.
