AoC Gets a $312 Haircut and Attempts to defend her socialism loving self indulging in elite capitalism

[Victorian Gray]

That cannot be inferred by what was said!

Shhh. He thinks he 'won'.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

So then you admit that AOC thinks she is above the average everyone else? Guess you just admitted the answer to main part of this argument.

WTF are you talking about? I said old women, which AOC is not and teen girls which AOC is not. I have been to Cutters. Yes a frumpy house Mom around AOC's age may go there.

what you said was "Average Woman" wouldnt go there. If AOC isnt "average" then she doesn't represent the "average individual"...
the entire premise of why anyone would make anything todo about this is... we reject elite people thinking that they stand up for the rights of average people. if she isnt one of us, we dont want her.

i would personally replace all 435 +100 members of both chambers of congress with common folks (plumbers, electricians, coal miners, mechanics, engineers, school teachers, waitresses) to eliminate this bullshit elite mentality that they aren't subject to the same level of lifestyle of the people they govern. If she is going to create poverty to eliminate other poverty, then she has to willingly suffer that same yoke.

Lets make them all unpaid volunteers and see how long AOC or any of them actually stick around in the job.

How would your "common folks" afford to be in Congress? Taking 2-6 years off of work is going to be a financial hardship.

Why do you think that the folks you listed above would be good at crafting legislation?

AOC was a bar tender, that’s pretty damn close to the above careers.
Making them unpaid would do the opposite of what you want, it would entrench wealthy people to Congress.
Could you afford to stop receiving any pay for 2-6 years. Would your family suffer?

 

[Jaskalas]

I am just seeing this crazy ass thread. Haircut prices can easily be 300 dollars depending on the services offered. She paid 300 dollars to cut and color her hair. Believe it or not that is a reasonable price. I'm a straight guy and even I know that. Any straight guy with a girlfriend or wife should know roughly what it costs to get these services done in professional places.

May I remind you. 60% of Americans do not have the capacity to splurge on frivolous things such as all those services. They'll take the $30 cut because they must. Or they'll simply cut their own hair, or have a friend or family do it for them. That poverty is all they know. The idea of spending hundreds of dollars at a single time, on hair, is a foreign concept to many people.

I believe this topic is playing on that "knowledge", or lack thereof.

 

[Jaskalas]

That alone helps her actually represent, in her own experience, most working class Americans. Far more than 99% of those old fossils in DC.

who said anything about taking off of work? I'm putting them under the same regulations NCAA athletes have right now...
Members of congress must still work a 40 hour a week job in addition to all congressional work they do.
No favors. No assistance. No improper benefits.

That will eliminate all the superfluous nonsense they do every day, and get them to focus on only the most important issues.

 

[Mai72]

You can get everything AOC got for $75.00 from cost Cutters, Supercuts or HollidayHair for $75 or less every day of the week that ends in Y.
and yes... those are the places that 100% of AVERAGE women go...

LOL, I think any woman who prizes her looks and pride wouldn't step one foot in Supercuts. Men don't care. Most women on the other hand are very selective.

No it’s a guarantee that the mechanics of crafting legislation and other aspects of their jobs would be turned over to parties even less accountable than today’s legislators. The legislators would become rubber stamps because they would not have the time to focus on complex issues.

Huh? What do you mean by this?

It's simple economics that she would value those salon services more than a typical person. As income rises, there is more demand for salon services, and of course she's a public figure, so she'll get more utility out of it.

May I remind you. 60% of Americans do not have the capacity to splurge on frivolous things such as all those services. They'll take the $30 cut because they must. Or they'll simply cut their own hair, or have a friend or family do it for them. That poverty is all they know.

Oh they do. No matter the income level, many people eat out frequently. Many people also have underutilized/unused services like cable packages, etc..

People also keep ignoring that it's DC. Rent is stupendous. The overhead would be incredible there. Many people can't get ahead working in that area.

 

[Maxima1]

For the people complaining, what do they think about how taxpayer dollars are used? The horror someone received $300 for salon services in DC!

Melania Trump's security detail at Trump Tower cost taxpayers more than $100,000 a day

While staying with her son Barron in New York, Melania took a host of military flights to Washington, DC and to Florida.

So a dude from Alaska is going to quit his job, find a new job in DC, potentially move his family to DC and somehow still stay a resident on Alaska?
On the surface I like what you are saying. Practically it’s impossible to do or expect. All people with shit tons of money would be the only ones who could afford to be a senator or representative

Truth hurts.......

Did you get the clarification you needed? You seemed really concerned about all these rules.

works for me!!

cry moar….
Obviously other who read the thread came away with a different answer!

 

[cytg111]

I wonder how much a Congress man spends on high class hookers and blow, on average.. But yea let’s talk about AOCs hair due and disconnect from the working class....... Do you guys hear yourself? She is the closest thing to a human you can relate to in DC ... But Fox tells you to hate so you hate.

 

[Bitek]

This thread is a case study of privilege. It’s as if they’re out of touch with working class communities.

Is a member of Congress considered "working class"?

 

[DarthKyrie]

Is a member of Congress considered "working class"?

Not with a salary of $174,000.

 

[Bitek]

My billing rate for consulting services is $250+/hr. I know what in demand services cost.

This was never a debate about what it costs. You can always get a standard massage for < $50 or a luxury $500 massage. You can get a manicure/pedicure for $40, or you can get a luxury one for $300. You're still missing the point.

But you guys keep missing that and also ironically calling us incels for no apparent reason. You sure you guys can keep up with the personal insult rule?

So you are a servant to elitist capitalists who should be ashamed of their indulgent and wasteful need to hire you for such exorbitant prices.

Care to name a few so they can be publicly shamed, or does the street only flow one way?

 

[pmv]

There's a dilemma here. If you don't pay lawmakers at all, only the independently wealthy will take the job. If you pay them too much, they lose touch with ordinary people. If you pay them moderately, there's still a third problem - in a society where the rich are pulling away from everyone else, you'll get lawmakers with lower-status and self-image than the corporate and other elites that they are supposed to be regulating and managing.

I think that would also have a subtle effect on the ability of those lawmakers to stand up to corporate lobbying.

Its just another manifestation of the tension between democracy and unrestrained capitalism. The latter produces a divergence of economic fortunes, and then lawmakers are faced with a choice as to which group they want to be part of - the people who vote for them, or those they have to deal with constantly in the course of running a country.

 

[Bitek]

But it is. According to Angie’s List and Square, the average cost for a woman’s haircut is $43. While highlights lowlights can certainly hit $300 at a mid range salon, there is a reason why there is a huge row of hair color at most pharmacies, Target and Walmart.

So in your mind national figures and/or celebrities should be getting their services done at Walmart and Costco? You know, to show solidarity with the working class?

Have you ever discussed the big box services with an actual skilled tradesmen? What's their opinion?

It's not an expensive service given the area and the fact she's a public figure frequently on TV. What is your point?

He doesn't value skilled labor, and only thinks it's noble if you pay for services by lowly trained, exploited laborers being paid little more than minimum wage.

If you buy services from a tradesmen working for a living wage, then you are an elitist, frivolous cvnt who wastes his money.

You support the working class by not hiring them, if you do, insist on poor quality and low wages.

That was never the point. The district she represents and her former occupation certainly are.

Well he would have fired them all first and replaced them all with unskilled, minimum wage workers hired by a big box. You know, because hiring them means elitism.

Since their industries are now undercut and underpriced due to low skilled, low wage competitors, and no woke consumer would hire their overpriced and decadent services, they will have no choice to lump it and make a go at politics if they care to eat.
