Are you willing to forego the benefits of mining? You don't want mining in your state, but you want those lesser, ethnic people to get dirty so you can have your clothes and cell phones and cars. Just say it: "I want them there minorities in other places to do that dirty mining!" That's what you wanted to say on this Progressive TH-cam channel?
They have little regard to human lives as well. These monsters dont care about the US land or people because many live in other countries or have the financial capability to move at a moments notice.
@@kevchard5214 What do you mean "bigoted" You want the USA to mine these materials? President Biden put a 20 moratorium on all rare earth mineral mining. Why are you against green energy and ending all mining in the USA? Are you a corporation or something? I bet you want to use our abundant natural gas and oil instead like a Trumper Magat.
As a Minnesotan THANK YOU AOC!!! The boundary waters is such a beautiful wilderness, and these greedy bastards don't care what they ruin as long as they get a little richer.
,,, Says a guy on a device that costs less than $500 and wears clothes from Target or Walmart because HE is not a greedy bastard that enjoys the fruit of slave labor...
@@GeoScorpion Yeah, not all of us can BE hard working Representatives like AOC. As long as we aren't actively working against the greater good like the MAGA Repugnants.
@@jefft5152 Yeah. I hear you. You don't have a job and divide the world into two tribes: YOU and MAGA 'repugnants". Here's the thing, Junior: get a job. If you can't get a job, then build a business. Definitely get out of your mom's basement, or AT LEAST pay her some back rent!
When conservatives start talking about mining ,roads and hunting in nature PRESERVES AND WILDLIFE REFUGES I get so mad as what does preserve and refuge mean? The are literally there to protect wildlife and the ecosystem!
Get in there and destroy those habitats! They are just full of things that'll make billionaires richer. If you tell them no though you're just a liberal leftist hippie trying to keep America down.
Says the person who thinks that food comes from Whole Foods and her Computer or cell phone came from a magic wand and not the dirty process of mining, refining, processing, and manufacturing. As a generation, you are now screwed. There is nobody to pay for your beliefs, now. Same with MAGA: Nobody can PAY for your beliefs, now. We all retired and took our money with us. YOU have to figure out how to sustain you way of life, because your money is about to dry up.
These people believe the fairy tale that nothing on the planet makes a difference because in a few years their make believe god will return and make them slaves for eternity worshiping a narcissist invisible creature.
Profit is not more important than human health life and welfare and our environment. thank you for working to save our environment RepAOC from corporations trying to pollute and destroy our planet.
@@GeoScorpion owners of corporations don’t care about the environment at all so their objective is opposite. REP AOC wants humans to live as the first priority, with clean air, water, and soil as a a basis for that; corporations want profit so have bought the votes to make it legal to pollute and destroy the planet for their greedy short term profit and so put their greed for useless money over human lives. Their purposes are diametrically opposed; so not possible. Corporations, in seeking profit , use their mass media to misinform the public, so they can legally send toxic waste into cities in train cars without working brakes and fill our stores, even grocery stores, with cancer causing products for sale, and burn the planet more for their short term profit. Look out the window. Are you in drought, flooding, or fire? How much further will the planet have to be destroyed before you see what’s happening and we all stop them ?
Its interesting every time I hear a statement like "I'm here representing jobs for...... " ect. Its obvious they have other interests. He's a paid lobbyist. Using language like that to conceal your main interests is really corrupt. Judges do it all the time. Especially Administrative Law Judges. They absolutely have an agenda. Impartiality is an illusion.
Cannot mine in Boundary Waters. Doesn't matter how much money you wake from it. This place is special and should never be touched. This would poison all waters in the Midwest, USA. Please, please. Many will die.
My question is HOW can we mine WITHOUT damaging the environment! Everyone keeps talking about this as an Either/Or, but I see it as a design and engineering problem: We NEED the X AND we cannot damage the Y. The process has to be less than $Z. So, how do we do it?
So weird when people make enough money to live on being in politics, but they just can't resist being corrupt and joining up with companies to manipulate laws to make more. I mean in a perfect world, it would be ok, and noone would be hurt by this, but since their focus is primarily profit, things fall apart because there's no consideration of the impact on people's lives or the general direction and effect of the action.
As a Minnesotant, I can't tell you how much we appreciate you advocating for the preservation of the boundary waters. It's some of the most beautiful areas in the entire country!
Here are some questions that I have for AOC and progressives: (1) Is it possible to mine, refine, process, or manufacture ANYTHING to your satisfaction? Is there ANY way to do ANYTHING that you would be ok with? (2) Is it possible to engineer a change in the way that we mine, refine, process, or manufacture things that would be acceptable to you, or are you ideologically against all of those activities? Do you have suggestions on how to do an oil pipeline, or do you want to SUDDENLY turn the world Green with an idea that your village in NYC is still going to have food at your Whole Foods and your kids know where food comes from? (hint: It's NOT a grocery store) (3) Are you against AMERICA doing mining, refining, processing, or manufacturing, or do you want EVERYONE to immediately stop doing those things all over the world? Today! Right Now! In your dream world, would you like us to just STOP?!? (4) I'm a Democrat. I believe Climate change is an immediate issue that is going to wipe out several countries THIS year. I also believe that YOU populists won and globalization is over, and NOW you get to solve the question of why everything is suddenly expensive? As a Democrat, I'm asking how YOU want to magically make things happen. (5) Are you willing to divest yourself of ALL products that are not based on mining, refining, processing, or manufacturing? You would be literally nude, but WORSE, you would be without a cell phone and batteries. You wouldn't even be able to show that you ARE lower than MTG because your damn cell phone needs rare earth minerals that are... *cough cough* MINED, REFINED, PROCESSED, MANUFACTURED!
(1) This is a question for scientists in these fields and we are supposed to be a democracy, which means if the public agrees that the benefits outweigh the costs then that's up to the public (not corporations, lobbyists and corrupt politicians). Personally I think the energy sector ought to be nationalized as a public good, so that profit motive doesn't screw people out of healthy environments. It's pretty clear that the UK's energy privatization was a huge blunder for the welfare of the citizens while only really benefitting corporations. When things are nationalized, it is easier to hold people accountable and seek damages on behalf of the public (very important for such basic needs as running water, electricity, transportation, and so on). (2) We have plenty of oil reserves to last a while as we invest in alternative energy sources and reduce consumption overall. This goes for other consumption beyond just fossil fuels. (3) Speaking for myself, I don't think we need to put a blanket ban on mining, etc. throughout the U.S., but again it should be up to the citizens if they want to take on the consequences on behalf of corporate profits, not the corporations making those decisions and saying they're ok with sacrificing health and well-being of citizens for private profits. (4) I think you're using weird language, what does it mean to "wipe out several countries"? Also you seem to have some grammatical errors making it hard to understand the 2nd sentence. But from what I do understand of this question, I think we need to drastically reduce consumption regardless of our manufacturing, mining, etc. Capitalism can only survive in this global market if we constantly consume more and more for the sake of consumption (i.e. planned obsolescence), and this behavior is counter to our health and well-being as a species and as a society. (5) We don't necessarily need to reduce consumption to zero and at this point it's unrealistic to think that's even possible or viable. You're wrong that we'd be "literally nude", people still know how to grow crops without machinery, harvest materials for clothing and are able to process it into tools for knitting, sewing, etc. But again, we don't need to drop consumption to zero, just apportion our consumption to the level of environmental health and public health that we see fit as a society (through democratic means and safeguards for those that are vulnerable). It seems you're coming from a state of emotion and it's clouding your judgement. I'd recommend taking some time offline and just connecting with real people in your community.
One of the most polluting parts of American industry that is being over-looked by everyone except those who want to forget about this issue, UN-capped oil and gas wells. Everyday these abandoned wells fill our air with methane (adding to climate change) and water reservoirs will toxic materials. Is this the nation you want to leave to your children's future?
That is an excellent point. Just because you want to abandon fossil fuels doesn't mean you should abandon the necessary safety precautions of existing plants.

You know a lobbyist from Minnesota has something to hide when their response takes a paragraph to say, "You betcha! "
AOC i long for the day to see you in the senate. As well as freshman house members who came in.
It’s just amazing to me how little regard humans have for nature.
I agree. Let the children in Africa do all the mining for our electric cars. I respect nature and our indigenous people.
Said the person on a device with little regard for nature...

What does she do for people? Asking honestly
I love how AOC asks questions that seek the truth and the facts with a clear bias that she is responsible for the well being of everyone.
As opposed the "her colleague's" biases.
