The Civilian Climate Corps wants YOU, comrade!

This how we save Mother Gaia from all those evil gases AND get the economy back on track, according to AOC's comments at a Wednesday meeting of the "Senate Climate Change Task Force" led by NY Sen. Ed Markey.

Here's a transcript of some of her remarks:

A Civilian Climate Corps – so the question we have is, we have a student loan crisis, a housing crisis, a climate crisis [insert your chosen crisis here] – how on earth can we possibly overcome this? I think one of the ways that we overcome it is by being one of the most unionized workforces and unionized generations in American history. By collecting our power as workers in the economy [Marx activated!], we can take our futures back.

And what's important about a Civilian Climate Corps is that it's an on-ramp to unionization [read: communism] and to – when we plug this in with union labor. But it's going to require putting us to work in the externalities of climate change, in reforesting land, in carbon mitigation, but also in resiliency and in the justice work. You know, planting trees, this isn't volunteer work, it's how we put the carbon back in the ground. It's how we actually take out future back into out own hands.

And yes, prior to this, she seriously said the last time the economy was thriving was back in the '90s!

Here's AOC's logic:

• People don't have jobs (because the government killed them all).
• Millennials believed the lie that they'd be millionaires if they spent a bazillion dollars to get a gender studies degree.
• The solution "to take our future back" is for the government to give people jobs PLANTING TREES.

Alternatively, you could remove taxes and red tape that allow private individuals to create businesses, hire workers, and generate capital, leading to flourishing communities that have no need of government resources and are exponentially more empowered to tackle issues like the environment in their own communities.

But where's the fun in that??
