Monday!

Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:

  • The weird fixation on every little aspect of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s life continues as CNBC calculates how much the 29-year-old congresswoman-elect should have in savings by now. Ocasio-Cortez has been very candid about her financial struggles, especially as she prepares to split her time between Washington and New York City. Ocasio-Cortez has $7,000 in savings, which is a reality for many of us who have been fucked by the economy for our entire adult lives, but still isn’t good enough, according to CNBC. “First, everyone needs an emergency fund with at least three to six months of living expenses. Ocasio-Cortez’s level of savings isn’t bad but, based on her previous earnings, experts recommend she have between $8,750 and $30,000 put away for a crisis.” Look, we’re all broke and in debt, let us fucking live.
