Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez loves to throw her alleged economics background in our faces at every opportunity, but dear God, if an institution of higher learning actually gave this woman a degree in economics, they need to revoke it. Immediately:
.@AOC: Currently Libra's governed by Facebook, Uber eBay, Spotify, Visa… Were they democratically elected?
Facebook’s Crypto Chief: No, Congresswoman.
AOC: So we're discussing a currency controlled by an undemocratically selected coalition of largely massive corporations. pic.twitter.com/ks5XbagGWg

Actually, we’re pretty sure AOC doesn’t have the faintest idea what she’s discussing.
Uhhhh…. https://t.co/MmDfZJzagS

Maybe AOC can let us know when & where the elections for the Federal Reserve was??!?!?

Last I checked no one running the Federal Reserve was democratically elected either. What’s the difference? https://t.co/cKIaFolB5O

Does she not know? We don't vote on board members of the federal reserve either. She should really pick up a book that isn't paint by numbers.

Lol. Who elected… central bankers? This woman should NOT be on the Financial Services Committee. https://t.co/J1Q9McIN5G

She shouldn’t be on any committee.
Somebody should tell her how the bond market works.

Economics is not her strong suit.
I know… I appreciate the irony.

We all do. Sigh.
I admire her refusal to allow history or logic to get in the way of a viral video.
