AOC and the rise of “those unwilling to workâ€

It’s a sign of a slow news week when most of the big political headlines are coming out of the SXSW festival. Still, the Democrats’ 2020 hopefuls, along with some of their “rising superstars†all made their way to the event to show the country that they can hang with the cool kids. This included Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose on-stage appearance reportedly drew lines of attendees that stretched around the facility.
AOC had plenty to say as usual and the topics she touched on ran the gamut. One of the more puzzling moments came when she was asked to comment on the rise of automation and artificial intelligence, specifically how that would impact lower-skill jobs and minimum wage earners. The freshman congresswoman probably shocked the crowd when she decided not to take the usual route of supporting the unions and instead said everyone should be excited about automation freeing up people from the drudgery of labor. Her reasoning, however, veered off the beam rather quickly. This report comes to us from our colleague Beth Baumann at Townhall. (Emphasis added)
