No point in debating here. It would be a waste of time.
Actually many of those so called “scientists” get grants from the government, and those grants are a lot more lucrative when they support a certain agenda. Not denying climate change, but a little skepticism is actually healthy, and far from ignorance.

Most don’t even know what her “vision” is. They were just promised free stuff.
Next time you walk through the modern state of the art wonders that are LGA and JFK, take a look at the quality of people that work there and customer service. Should come of no surprise that those people are AOC’s voting base.

That actually isn't true. My uncle is a geologist who has worked for universities and the private sector. He said it is a heck of a lot easier to get money working for a private company than it is to get a grant.

Anyone who has ever gotten a grant knows you don’t submit a conclusion to get funding. It’s just a preposterous Mark Levine lie that stupid people fall for.

Everyone, without exception, that I interact with when I go to work at either airport are friendly, accommodating and hard working people, doing the jobs that make the civilized world function.

Funny you ask, I grew up in New York so I’m speaking from experience. Everything in and around JFK, Queens, and LGA is pure trash, and it shows in the politicians they elect. Sorry but not sorry if that offends you.

Not offended , it's your opinion. But generalizing is a form of stupidity and is exactly why we are in this political **** storm today. I've been to plenty of red states that the airports have horrendous customer service and staff. Do I say no wonder, they are trumps voting base? I would sound like a moron, hope that doesn't offend you.

Yes, but I’ve never mistaken a red state airport for Mos Eisley.
