Okay fox news hates it? I am all for it then

[CornishCreamtea]

That's a very good point, why not ask legitimate questions about the bill, rather than sounding like the mad homeless person on the street corner.

..."And get your parents back together!!!!" 🤣

[diemuebs]

Fight climate change but let me not change anything in my life. 🤣

She is right on the money. That's what America should stand for, progress, the richest country in the world. That's what would make America great. BTW it's going to happen there is no other alternatives. The old world is crumbling in front of our eyes and the new ideas emerge, the change is hard, but inevitable. Anyway the dogs bark, but the caravan goes on.

let's be correct here... it's not a bill, it's not legally binding... it's an aim to head towards at best and the republitards will try and do everything to talk it down

How do you pay for it? How many workers will be needed to build that high speed rail? Those workers will pay taxes, yes? How many workers needed to revamp highways and rebuild bridges? Those workers will pay taxes, yes? How many workers will be needed to fabricate and install solar and wind farms? Those workers will pay taxes, yes? Those workers will need housing, they will shop at supermarkets and Walmart and Burger King, so there will need to be more people working at Burger King and Walmart and Krogers and housing construction, and those workers will pay taxes, yes? And all of that additional tax revenue then gets used to provide for the education and the health care these workers will be working their collective arses off for!

THAT is how you pay for it all and build a healthy, vibrant economy, and bring the USA back from the 3rd world country it has become.

Trevor doesnt seem to get that a holistic notion of sustainability needs to include social as well as environmental aspects. Thus AOC approach on intergenerational equity via social housing etc. is necessary to give us a slim chance of reaching a truly sustainable and desirable future state for all of us. Appart from this on point as allways

[dd-vmhs]

High speed rail is a very very good idea. Not a cure all by any means but an enormous step forward.

[lizmol-san]

I totally agree with AOC... I think all our countries should try to adopt such bill.
What is difficult to understand for ppl that if we don't go extreme now, there won't be a chance for us to even try. There won't be safe air, clean water and food for us and our families in some years, n we r hesitant to cut down our dependence on electricity, fuel, meat, etc now. We r digging our own graves now n our families.
Imagine how we will survive watching our babies trying to breath but there is only smoke.?! How are we gonna feel then?

Egypt is building a brand new capital city 40km away from Cairo.

The difference between that and this "Green New Deal" is that Egypt actually just might have a shot.

[Ipang]

Omg those people from Fox news... this is your earth too you know.

[nikinnorway]

TIL Trevor Noah's writers don't know what The New Deal

Daily Show, learn your history.

The eggplant emoji not fun anymore hahahaaha

[therepublicofdiarrhea]

Trump's face always looks like it just got BBQ'd.

I am from Botswana
From Primary to Secondary school is almost free
The fees we are expected to pay are less than $2000 for the 12 years
At Varsity Government pays for the citizens, pay back later

Access to medical services is less than $5.00 at a government facility and if you need specialist care that is not available in country the government pays for it

I am talking about a country of a 17.41 GDP, in the early 70s it was one of the poorest countries in the world, but then again we have a population of just under2 million 😊

Tell me again why Fox news still exist? Everything thats either gonna benefit the people or helping the Earth seems to scare them more than Pennywise with a chainsaw

[kateemma]

Democrats: we should prioritise train travel so we can cross this great big land in style. Fox News: Why we love Spirit airlines and George Washington would have too!

[lukeesterhuizen]

Trevor never spoke about everything that was included in this bill..like giving people money thats unwilling to work..

[taraphilippe]

Thank you for explaining it to people.. A.O.C!!
