NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE: YOU’VE LEARNED WELL, GRASSHOPPER. AOC celebrates oil crash in now-deleted tweet: ‘You absolutely love to see it’

“You absolutely love to see it,” Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described “democratic socialist,” who has pushed to radically restructure the U.S. economy with a “Green New Deal,” wrote on Twitter. She was responding to a post which stated: “Oil prices now at ‘negative values,’ meaning oil producers have to pay people to take it off their hands and store it because when demand plunges (like now), that is less expensive for them than building more storage and/or shutting wells down.”

“This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet. *cough*,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.
