Say What? Immortality Just Around the Coroner. I Mean Corner

[HotAir] Boston University’s economics program apparently never included a biology requirement ‐ or math, for that matter. BU’s most notable graduate these days, Democratic Socialist candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, tried explaining to CNN’s Chris Cuomo last night why people shouldn’t have "sticker shock" over the price tag of her core agenda item, Medicare for All. Emphasis on tried, as Ocasio-Cortez’ answer would have some thinking that Medicare for All would end death as we know it: Ocasio-Cortez: "Socialized medicine is cheap because people will no longer have to pay for funerals."
Who is going to tell this poor, ignorant young woman that people will still die? More at the link.

#8  From Wiki: "She graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in economics and international relations."

And BU got another twofer (Female of Color) to pad their numbers in keeping the fed affirmative action $ flowing in.

#7  Hypothesis: the progressive intellectual class dominates by self-entrenchment and self-replication, but these very advantages are also an Achilles’ heel. Surrounded by the affirmation of the like-minded, their judgments face no testing or reality constraint and become fantastic.

#6  Boston University should be embarrassed to see their reputation so publicly smeared by an alumni.

#5  Here's what she said when Chris Cuomo asked her if Nancy Pelosi is the leader of the Democrats: "I think absolutely right now..she is the leader of..no no, um, she is speaker..or rather leader Pelosi..hopefully we’ll see..she’s ah..she’s the current leader of the party and..the party absolutely does have its leadership in the House and Senate"
How does she get dressed in the morning?

#4  no one on socialized medicine ever dies.

They might die, but they never stop voting.

#2  As if no one on socialized medicine ever dies. And if that notion was true it would be a very good reason to avoid socialized medicine.
