I thought this was a Bad Take
Shockingly, AOC has an economics degree from a reputable college. Might say why she had been working as a bartender, though https://t.co/OyPRMiZltI

If the tweet fails to show (giving me some issues in the writing panel), here’s the headline
How does someone with an economics degree not understand what’s’ going on? Oh, right, that’s why she was working as a bartender
The there’s CNN
Here’s another thing keeping prices high: Climate change
The pandemic economy is one of imbalances: supply chain woes and rising inflation have been with us for a while now, with few solutions in sight. But there’s another big shock to the global economy taking shape: climate change.
Although the pandemic will eventually end — whether it takes months or years — climate change is here to stay.
More severe weather events and shifting climate patterns will continue to create problems for people and businesses around the world. And the already battered global supply chains will be on the front lines.
That’s bad news for the rampant pandemic-era inflation that Americans have had to get used to during Covid.
Think unseasonably cold winters or hotter-than-normal summers increasing energy costs and prices for products like fans, AC units and generators. Meanwhile, fires, droughts, floods and storms can affect the food supply chain and drive prices up. And any extreme weather event can lead to property damages that then affect material and construction costs.
Got that? You ate a burger so you made it abnormally cold (say, do any of these climate cultists understand how averages work?) so prices are higher.
But thinking about it from the perspective of economic risk rather than pure politics changes the tone: “Climate is essentially an economic problem and it’s about how we manage the risk,” Dr. Sanjay Patnaik, director of the Center on Regulation and Markets at The Brookings Institution, told CNN Business.
And how do they want to do this? By massive government control of the economy, and, by extension, your life. Surprise?
