Lots of politicians and actors work in the service industries while waiting for better gigs. It is also good training for both, especially for politics.

true, if you want to go into politics, good chance the ladder involves a lot of volunteer work, travel, etc... that isn't compatible with a fulltime gig that her degree might have otherwise provided. A guy I did a little campaign work for in SF was a lawyer in private practice, when he decided to go into politics, he quit the job which was a short term financial hit, and worked legal for some non-profits at a huge pay cut and had some part time gigs and did a lot of political glad handing volunteer work.

Unless you get a silver spoon, that's the path. Often times includes running for rando positions like City College Board etc..

"Her father died of lung cancer in 2008 during her second year, [of college] and Ocasio-Cortez became involved in a lengthy probate dispute to settle his estate."

"During college, Ocasio-Cortez was an intern for U.S. senator Ted Kennedy in his section on foreign affairs and immigration issues"

"After college, Ocasio-Cortez moved back to the Bronx and took a job as a bartender and waitress to help her mother—a house cleaner and school bus driver—fight foreclosure of their home. She later launched Brook Avenue Press, a now-defunct publishing firm for books that portrayed the Bronx in a positive light. Ocasio-Cortez also worked for the nonprofit National Hispanic Institute."

"During the 2016 primary, Ocasio-Cortez worked as an organizer for Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign. After the general election, she traveled across America by car, visiting places such as Flint, Michigan, and Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota, and speaking to people affected by the Flint water crisis and the Dakota Access Pipeline."

Apparently her father's estate was lucrative for her

Are we talking AOC or Kamala Harris?

Are you judging intelligence based on a brief clip?.

Both are have better cognitive skills and are better at speaking than Trump.

Trump maybe has street cred as a bully and con iman.

Harris might tend to ramble during interviews

Harris.

Trump is irrelevant to this particular discussion.

I have heard that people in government who have had to consult with her do not believe she is the sharpest tool in the shed.

Based on her reasonably impressive academic record and her parents’ backgrounds, I have no reason to believe she’s not intelligent. Her cross-examination skills have shone brightly at times. I do believe she has a nervous tick of some sort which might make her look less bright.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Who knows what happens to people once they get in the spotlight. I have a relative who was involved in  government a while back. He said that he had to deal with Sarah Palin when she was Alaska governor. He claimed that it was apparent she always read the materials in advance because she would ask good questions. He was left wondering what the heck happened to her after she became McCain's running mate....

Hope you did it right. The dummy we bought this house from - I'm guessing the condenser conked out so he bought a new condenser and they told him to replace the evaporator coils too but he was too cheap to do it. So the drain pan under the coils has rusted out and ended up leaking water. We noted the "new A/C unit" and didn't really think we'd need to pry back the evaporator unit.

Gives us an excuse to replace the furnace, which would be nearing the end of its life anyway, but is probably going to have a premature death since when I went to replace the return air filter, it looked like a sweater.

I believe she has been hitting the nose candy quite hard over the years and has fried her brain
