Not that it makes Ivanka a better person than someone else, even a janitor, but addressing the merits of "her working", which have nothing to do with if you like her or not.

Criminal? What is their criminal record? Are you saying criminals cannot have any positive impact in the world? Are for or against, restoration of voting rights for felons?

Oh, so you admit she hired people, which is far more than what AOC has ever done.

Exactly who did AOC employ? You know, aside those she does not using tax payer money.

What business engagements, business practices of any kind, has AOC conducted? That is right, none, zero, she does not even have a concept of it.

But hey, you dislike Trump, you dislike Ivanka, so that is relevant, lol. If you liked them, you would be praising how well experienced they are in business.

See, I dislike Trump and Ivanka, especially that Jared guy, but I do not let that cloud my knowledge of the facts that they have far more business experience, and far more of an impact on the economy and employment opportunities than AOC ever had or will.

If Ivanka didn't happen to have a rich and famous father, she too, probably would have waited tables or had a job as a bartender, and known what it's like to work minimum wage.

I can also say with 99.99% certainty that, if she didn't have a rich and famous father, she would not have had her designer clothing/accessories company, and thus, would not have had the opportunity to employ people in her own company.

And? What does that have to do with anything? A lot of people would not be doing what they do at all if not for circumstances that allowed them to do so. If Bill gates grew up a different way, perhaps he would not do what he is doing, if Joe Smith did not, perhaps he would not be an auto tech.

Well, she has talked about "running trains". That may be how she made her living.

Does seem unlikely, she doesn't seem like someone BNSF would be hiring.

any talk of guaranteed income is most certainly about subsistence level income to keep someone from say freezing to death..so far most of this type of thing is just studies that probably says its cheaper than other alternatives...


there will come a time in the not to distant future when there will just NOT be enough work to go around in the traditional sense (technology and productivity increases will see to this)


becoming a elected congressperson before the age of 30 is most probably quite more of an achievement that a billionaires daughter becoming a fashion designer please!
