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

[Homerboy]

Are we STILL fucking talking about this?

That’s not uncommon in a working class neighborhood in NYC. The guy I used to go to charged $5 a cut. His shop was always full of retirees and veterans. It was a shrine to the people of the neighborhood.

Bullshit on a substantial amount of dudes finding hair cuts at that cost.
Some yeah sure nearly everyone else no way.

 

[Homerboy]

Just so I understand this argument (I'm not reading all the days I missed) - elected officials should only be getting goods and services from shops within their districts? If so, do those shops need to only be locally owned (ma and pop shops)? or can they be chain stores and restaurants that may or may not be owned by somebody within that district. What if it is a small shop in their district, but the owner and/or employees work outside the district?

 

[Victorian Gray]

He conviently has forgotten the conservatives attacking both Sanders and Warren for being in the 1%, oops.

And just recently. I thought of mentioning that but then, what's the point. He knows what he's doing.

Roast snipe, broiled snipe, fried snipe, it's all tasty.

No it’s devolved to no matter what AOC spends money on it will either be the wrong thing or cost too much.

He just left out the part about it being 30 years ago.

I've known plenty of folks in life that say "I've been getting my hair cut at the same place for 15 years at $7 cut".... Not everyone goes to your standard chains where it costs $15

Plenty that live in NYC?

Plenty of varied age groups? Stylists tend to keep prices low of long term customers.
Again your number is possible but not possible for the majority. I just found it funny that guys appeared to lie more about hair cuts than women did.
Reminded me of the old days where it appeared the vast majority of AT posters made $250k or more. That just doesn’t pass the smell test.

What poor bastard here has to survive on that pocket change?

 

[Starbuck1975]

I did. Now it costs around $20.

Pretty much...She could have gotten a cheap haircut for 20 bucks and the right and their media would find a way to call her unprofessional somehow. "Look at the unkept hippie communist"

She can’t win, because she’s their Emmanuel Goldstein.

It's really that simple!

I don’t care what she spent on it. I entered the thread and commented on her twitter response, and then a few posters decided to share their deep expertise on salon pricing.

 

[VRAMdemon]

Of course..This minor, rep. from a small district..whom many Democrats disagree with represents the face of the Democratic party as a whole. How could ya forget!

 

[jmagg]

How is she not?

In that how her poorest constituents view this.

So...Your upset that when attacked - she fights back..with similar tact.

Has anyone asked her constituents about this or are you projecting your desires onto them in attempt to turn a non-story into some sort of outrage where none exists?

I personally have no outrage, but if I were worried about feeding my children or a roof id question her words.

A few more threads and articles attacking her appearence and AOC is going to barely win 75% of the vote in her fashion conscious city/district.

I see on today's edition of Conservatives Approaching The Point, we have this thread. Yes, it's absolutely true that a true working-class woman is not going to be able to afford hair cuts that are this expensive.

However, it's *also* true that this is the level of grooming that's expected for professional women. The sensible takeaway is that this sort of barrier to social mobility is a bad thing.

In short, don't hate the player - hate the game.

so you have no evidence to support your assertion.

 

[Bitek]

Most of the leaders of socialism certainly did. Sanders is known for his humble suits. Warren for presenting as a college professor. Auto union leaders who did well for themselves would never drive their foreign built cars to the factory

Like most working class families, they use them when advantageous, but they certainly aren’t shopping at Whole Foods, assuming they even have access to one.

Regardless, I never supported this line of attack on her. My entrance into this thread was a comment on how she responded to it, which triggered her fanboys, and here we are.

So her problem is that she needs to do more virtue signaling and playing of identity politics?

Play dress up as a low wage person in order to build cred because that's how Sanders rolls?

I mean, no people in Sweden dress nicely or go to salons...

What about FDR and LBJ? Surely you would consider them as promoting socialist policies.
Are their legacies tarnished because they didn't slum it up sufficiently?

As far as tradesmen go, you shouldn't assume they are all poor and don't enjoy any luxuries. Turns out they can make a good living if people pay them for their skills properly rather than settling for cheap, unskilled, poor quality labor.

God forbid if AOC bought a $70K F350, a 40ft camper, or a $30k fishing boat... How bourgeoisie... How disconnected from the struggles of the working class...

If she really wanted to connect with the working class she should get a private plane, paint her name on it in giant gold letters, and use it to fly between exclusive golf clubs and hotels..

Hey... What do you think many working class black women spend on their hair?

Hmmmm....

How many haircuts would you have to do per hour to make a decent wage?

Quick haircuts are still 15 mins, unless you are a barber in the army just shaving heads.

Even at $15 plus tip, those stylists at supercuts make wages that are considered working poor.

 

[theeedude]

It's time for sane people to ignore the right, unless it's to point finger and laugh.

Exactly and to stave off the person saying it’s an old guy who owns the place. How the fuck do you own business property in NYC by charging $5 a cut. Financially that is impossible or the business is so poorly run it can’t persist.
