Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Nauseating Reaction to Oil Market Collapse and Job Losses

Today was a brutal day for the oil market. It collapsed. Its price dropping below zero for the first time ever. In all, the price of oil dipped by over 300 percent. At one time, a pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit gum was more expensive than a barrel of oil. This drop also accompanied a rather bad day on Wall Street as well (via The Street):

U.S. crude futures for May delivery, the near-term contract, sank to their lowest level on record Monday, falling to negative $52.24 a barrel as traders fretted over the capacity of storage facilities both in the U.S. and abroad. Contracts for June delivery ended down 18.3%, at $20.03 a barrel.
"In my view, the plunge in oil prices speaks to the decline of global growth as demand dries up," said Dan Russo, chief market strategist at Chaikin Analytics, a quantitative investment research firm based in Philadelphia.

This is more bad news for the energy industry, who were bracing for tens of thousands of jobs to be wiped out due to the slowing economy. Some estimates have 50-75,000 jobs lost, while others are as high as 200,000. Like other sectors of the economy, this could get brutal and that means more pain for scores of American families. So, how did Democrats treat this news? Well, for some, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) the thought of joblessness for legions of Americans due to oil being torpedoed was one of joy.
