she grew up in the Bronx and garbage disposals were banned in much of New York City from the 1970s until 1997, according to the New York Times. The city feared its 13,000-mile network of underground sewers and water supply would not be able to handle “an onslaught of ground food pulp.”
In her Instagram post, Ocasio-Cortez even joked about “All you people telling me to reach in and grab whatever’s there are just Republicans trying to test my health insurance.”
She also added: “I’m on to you.”
I didn't know that about NYC. Interesting. I have always lived in houses with septic systems which don't work well with garbage disposals.

I know what they are but was thinking maybe she didn’t have disposals where she is from too.
But she already has a reputation for being ditzy and dumb, I wouldn’t have put this on social media because it’s not cute.

The Lunatic Fringe actually tried to pass a law banning Garbage disposals in Raleigh a few years ago - to save the world.
They had their asses handed to them on election day of course.

I've lived in a home with a septic system and a disposal since the early nineties and have never had a problem. RidX makes sure of it.

My septic tank guy didn't like the state of my tank the last time we pumped it. So when my garbage disposal started leaking I simply removed it. I grew up without one nbd. To hook to city sewer would double my water bill and cost thousands so I don't take chances. I think AOG is being silly but its obviously a joke.
