Airport already has $15 minimum wage.
WFB: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) complained about the price of goods in an airport with among the highest wage prices in the country Monday. She claimed wages should be even higher, and prices somehow lower.
The self-described democratic socialist took to Twitter Monday to complain about the price in comparison to wages. She exclaimed that “Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE.”
She marveled that some would think it’s “too expensive” to raise the minimum wage.
In reality, LaGuardia Airport in New York already has a $15 minimum wage. Andrew Kerr of the Daily Caller pointed out that LaGuardia has a higher minimum rate than the target number of most progressives. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey approved a $19 minimum wage for many LaGuardia workers in September 2018. According to the New York Times, it is “the highest minimum wage target set by any public agency in the country.”
Ocasio-Cortez did not need to drop seven dollars if she wanted a croissant, moreover. If she’s willing to accept pastries from Au Bon Pain in LaGuardia’s terminal C, she can get a croissant there for only $3.29, as the Washington Free Beacon confirmed in a phone call. In a separate call, a representative of Au Bon Pain in LaGuardia explained that the minimum wage is $15 per hour for some staff, $19 for airport workers in the new terminal. more
Idiot.
$7 bucks? Where they on sale???
What’s she doing at an airport?….shouldn’t she be on ‘Shanks Mare?”…..
She graduated cum laude from Boston University’s College of Arts and Sciences in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics…
bwahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
You don’t like the 7 buck croissants? Try the cake instead, Antoinette.
Whoa! Dora needs to stop expropriating white peoples culture. Go eat a churro. Those are like 2 bucks.
Also, aren’t we supposed to stop eating grains? You know, for the planet or something cuz it takes too much water.
AOC had to study at Boston University’s College of Arts and Sciences to get this stupid. She actually graduated with honors, so she is really stupid.
Now do Disneyland and stadium concessions. They’re absolute monsters.
Now that i think about it, croissants are made with like 4 sticks of butter each. Butter comes from farting cows. The fudge is Dora doing exploiting cows for their curdled tit juice when she said cowz are bad for sacred mother Earf?
Unless….. croissants are actually fiddy cents but they have to pay 6 fiddy in carbon offsets to cover the 15 dollar an hour wages for all the government cow butt sniffers.
Buying a T-shirt at a concert would probably send her in to cardiac arrest.
Willysgoatgruff, you and I and other older guys know what shanks mares are. Millennials wouldn’t have a clue. For the uninitiated it means walking, my grandfather told me that when I was a kid back in the 60’s and I once asked him for a ride to my cousins house, he told me, “Boy, use your shanks mares to walk the mile or so to see your cousins.” And I did.
What was she doing at LaGuardia?
Shouldn’t she be hanging out at Penn Station?
Her ability to repeatedly unconsciously self ridicule is stunning.
geoff – first job I ever had with a paycheck was four and a half miles from my home. Didn’t have a car so I walked. Had that job for a year and a half. Was never late and never missed a day. Cooks gave me a ride home at night. Made a whole $1.95 an hour when I started.
I’m sorry but Waaaah Unfair!!! Didn’t work for me as a three year old. But it’s AOC’s entire platform.
Breaking news!!! Airport concessions behind government TSA screening (aka Biden patdown) know they have a captive audience. They charge what they like because it’s government and you are their prey.
NYC to DC? 4 hour drive. Dumbass.
Alexandria Ocasio Mountain Dew Camacho-Cortez.
More realistic, I think.
Even her puppet masters are all, “STFU AND STICK TO THE SCRIPT ALREADY!!!”
“The rent is too damn high”, said the Rent Is Too High Guy.
Fur could do a “stupid” AOC post every day
Just like Obama talking about the price of arugula at Whole Foods.
At 15 to 19 dollars an hour, she’s lucky there are any croissants for sale at all.
If you pay $7 for a piece of bread, you are an economic moron.
We thought Bernie Sanders had a near-zero economic IQ. But actually, with his hippie commune experience, I think she’s got him beat.
Goose Egg Cortez – she graduated Magna Cum Nada.
(There are variations on “Magna Cum Laude” that are not appropriate for a PG-13 site. This IS a PG-13 site, right? Right?)
Do you want a bagel shortage, because that is how you get a bagel shortage.
Yea…

She could eat shit for free… which is what she should be doing in a zoo with a chain around her neck welded to an MG Midget.
Ever hear of brown bagging it? Pack your own food. Airport prices are always expensive because they need to cover the $15 to $19 min. wage among other things.

HOW FRICKING STUPID, the less these asswipes know….the smarter they think they are!
Hey, Kotex…..the high price of food is required in order to offset the money paid for the pilots salary which is rather low despite his/her months/years of technical training, but, liberals believe it is necessary to pay an exorbitant amount per hour for uneducated democratic voters that want a job pushing 3rd class snacks or scamming passengers that are willing to be sexually assaulted by low-life TSA gropers which are, in fact, overpaid.
Maybe she should advocate for a $15 wage for airline passengers 😉
There is an economic lesson there but it went over her head.
Anyway, IMO airport food is lousy and not worth the money. Too many people eat junk food before a flight and the chances are they have heavy garlic breath by the time they board.
She’s a dummy, no doubt. But who would you rather be the face of your party, her or thst GOPe crook, mcconnell?
Did you hear that the Turtle told Trump to forget about replacing obamacare?
Airport food?
Isn’t that like gas-station sushi?
And ax y’seff – who is dumb enough to pay $7 for frog food?
izlamo delenda est …
When my kids were growing up, I gave them this advice – If someone eve tells you that no one can be that stupid; get every penny you can lay your hands on and take that bet. There’s no way on God’s earth that you can lose.
Today’s crop of wannabe rulers proves it.
Cortez should pay more attention to her taco.
Hey babe, open that and close your mouth.
Enough of the AOC already. I have no more IQ points to sacrifice. Just let me know when it’s time to start shooting.
AOC will always be to me,
