No booze! AOC whines — vows to block Total Wine in her district
September 19, 2019 | Vivek Saxena

Seven months after socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez helped tank New York’s deal with Amazon, the radical freshman is now reportedly plotting to prevent a popular nationwide alcohol retailer from opening in her district.

In a letter sent this Tuesday to State Liquor Authority Chairman Vincent Bradley, the congresswoman reportedly urged the official to deny Total Wine & More a license because its presence in her community would allegedly harm local small business owners.

“My district enjoys many of the benefits of a vibrant small business economy: job creation for and by community members, socio-economic mobility for immigrants and new Americans, and long-lasting relationships between proprietors and their customers,” she wrote, according to the New York Post, which obtained a copy of the letter.

She added that she’s “deeply concerned” by Total Wine & More moving into her community because it “has access to resources and economies of scale with which smaller retailers could not compete.”

“Total Wines has a history of loss leader pricing — selling alcohol at or below cost in order to sell high-end products at a generous margin,” she wrote. “Our small businesses would not be able to compete with such practices and it would be devastating to the largely immigrant community that is currently employed at many of these stores.”

The problem with AOC’s rhetoric is that it only represents one side. For those locals who do support the store’s launch, they’ve essentially been denied a voice by the congresswoman.

Last time I checked Total Wines does not sell wines her constituents normally buy.

All state liquor authorities are established for the purpose of monopolization of sales and/or rent-seeking.  AOC isn't really interested in helping her district's businesses or consumers, either.  She just wants the media profile and virtue-signaling benefits.

 She’s just a small sample of what would happen if progressives  were able to implement their agenda on the country at large

Killing jobs she decided should not exist.

She wants the business models of 10 or 30 or ## years ago to remain static. The economy doesn't work that way.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I am convinced there are plants smarter than AOC.   Even mushrooms, that are kept in the dark and covered with shit are more advanced.
