that Washington Post article isn't fact-checking, it's clear propaganda
his first point is confusing as heck. first he says that living standards are difficult to measure (true) but then tries to paint AOC as if she's either lying or ignorant (I'd go for demagogic but ok); so far so good but then he goes on to look at income of employed persons?? what?? not only does he contradict himself but he completely glosses over the unemployed, unregistered and of course the illegals. kinda bad when you're trying to accuse others of being sloppy.
then he throws her a bone about families because that always looks good in WaPo
THEN he does something absolutely egregious which is to counterpoint her accusation that big companies like walmart and amazon get government handouts while treating their employees like garbage, to which he counters with... a statement from the fucking amazon spokesperson? really? let's just ignore the mountains of evidence of abuse AND of handouts just like she said
bah, that article is bogus
