Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.

Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.

Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.

Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.

      The trick is taking them away slowly enough that every new generation of workers doesn’t even know what they’re missing.

      Line must go up, after all.

      What’s that, we’re being outpaced on a global scale such that our under-educated workers will soon no longer be able to rely on “We speak English without an accent?”

      That’s a problem for after I’m dead, so I’m not worried about it!

        Yeah, I really hope the younger generation gets their shit together and do what my generation couldn’t.

        Man tried once at my software/engineering place, did not get very far at all unfortunately.

          Sorry, best they can do is “saying n****r on the internet gets me attention so MAGA is where I belong.”

          Maybe we’ll have luck with the next generation.
