You AOC watchers really work very hard to delve out minutiae out of her life.

pagesix.com

Another one data point story. No mention of how many people the tip was to be paid to. Could it be 11? Rounded to $50 from $50.90? And maybe the waitress got an absentee's share after complaining.

>Most of the staff at Flats Fix, the East 16th Street taco and tequila bar, say nice things about Sandy, as they knew her for the four years she worked there, until she quit six months ago to for Congress.

But one waitress has a bad memory of working with Ocasio-Cortez, 28, as Ocasio-Cortez tended bar during the very busy Cinco de Mayo celebration in 2017.

At the end of the night, when it came time to split the $560 in tips she had gotten at the bar, Ocasio-Cortez gave the waitress only $50. After the waitress complained to her manager, her take was doubled to $100, a source said.>

AOC wasn't chosen to work at bars because of her school prowess.

She got confidence of talking in public from the job she had serving drinks in bars.

A Barista need to be good at talking and having interpesonal skills to succeed in that job.

Bargirls always succeed and that is the bars employ them.

Having confidence to express oneself is not a sign of intelligence. Quite the contrary.

I use a term: clueless and ignorant people have a confidence that comes only from their ignorance.

I know many intelligent people who are not confident, and probably for the simple fact that they are smart.

Once she decided or was persuaded to have a shot at a political career, she used what she had to get what she wanted.

Reherearsed and spoke the script. A politician succeeds in delivering the lines.

She seized the day because the democrat party was trying to get new faces to the electorate. That is why The Squad was elected.

Get a new faces and get faces that appeal to the millenials.

See, the democrat party is like the Oscars or Nascar: Trying to get the Millennial audiences.

Or Nascar trying to get new faces. Nascar got a boost from the Brazilian drivers and now got Bubba Wallace.

The giveaway is roughly this: the display is one of "apparent" confidence and abrasive assertiveness. The clue is the need to instruct.

True confidence is quiet. It has no need for assertiveness or defense. It has even less of a need to instruct. It just is.
