B-Man Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 On Friday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) promoted and quoted a video calling for the government to use eminent domain to seize plants closed by companies like General Motors (GM) – and use those plants to create Tlaib’s “Green New Deal.” Tlaib tweeted a new video created by Greater Detroit Democratic Socialists of America, “Make the Green New Deal a Reality,” quoting its last line advocating using government to “take control” of corporate production capacity: “Either we can continue to let corporations, who treat our communities and workers like disposable resources, dictate our fate, or we can take control of our situation, and use our productive capacity to address our common crisis.#GreenNewDeal” If a company like GM closes a plant, the government should “use eminent domain to take it back and use it for the people,” the video argues: “If companies, like General Motors, won’t keep their plants open, even after accepting massive, public-funded bailouts, let’s take them back and use them to make the Green New Deal a reality.

Koko78 Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Clearly the intent of eminent domaining the closed factories is so that they can plant massive fields of cannabis, thus saving the planet through green smoke. Word has it pot cures everything, including global warming/cooling climate change. Besides, when is taking stuff away from evil corporations and the top 100% a bad thing?
