AOC now says basic economics is racist and dehumanizing

Given the conversation it has provoked, the fuss from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over President Trump's economic adviser Kevin Hassett's use of the phrase “human capital stock” might have to be upgraded to an all-out brouhaha. The socialist congresswoman melted down over Hassett’s language in a recent tweet:

Human Capital Stock.

An ugly term w ugly history, but for many powerful ppl it‘s their most honest view of workers: human stock.

By their logic, the moment a person stops being useful to profit motive (retirement, health, etc) they are a liability. That’s the system we live in.

The woman's lack of understanding of the English Language is truly breath taking.

Just once, I wish someone from the BU economics department would say, "We don't claim her. She didn't learn a thing here."
