Green deal is stupid with no way to pay for it

How could anyone possibly vote yes on the green deal. Has anyone went over it. It’s crazy. It would work if you want to kill off the poor from starvation.

Then you need to speak louder, without fear

Inside the Sunrise Movement: How young climate activists put the Green New Deal on the mapThe Green New Deal has seemingly come out of the blue to become a litmus test for 2020 presidential hopefuls. But it didn't happen by accident. Alongside multiple members of Congress—notably Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey—a group of young activists has pushed the plan into the headlines, working behind the scenes to reshape America's approach to the climate crisis. Thank you to teachers as well. Without them they wouldn’t be aware or so empowered. If they follow AOC and her nutbag ideas, they will never be taken seriously. AOC A defense of the vital GreenNewDeal: When JFK made his 1962 *Moon* speech we committed to using rockets we hadn't invented & technology we hadn't imagined to put a man on a world we hadn't explored.
