THIS MEME IS SO EPICALLY STUPID CAN'T EVEN ATTACK PROPERLY | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
now if I am wrong,feel free to correct me.
but it appears to me this meme is addressing the wells fargo financing the DAPL pipeline,and aoc making the case that wells fargo should be held to a standard of responsibility.

what this meme totally misses,and is pretty damn important,is not the financing alone.
that,by itself,is a non-issue.
what IS the issue is that wells fargo knowingly financed a "known factor",which was the fact the pipelines leak,(DAPL has had 5 big leaks to date),and how wells fargo was attempting to offset (called externalization) the costs of clean up onto the American tax payer.

meaning YOU,dear reader,and is actually "socialism".

so aoc was trying to get wells fargo to admit that they knowingly,and with intent,financed/invested in a known quantity and were attempting to abdicate their fudiciary responsibilities.

if I have assumed wrong,please forgive me,and disregard my comment.

Not really any different than if someone financed a car, and cars are known to be involved in accidents or death. What about financing of Boeing 737 Max aircraft? Pharmaceutical companies where drugs have known risks?

dr strangelove | FALSE EQUIVALENCY WELLS FARGO IS ALSO AN INVESTOR,SO IT IS NOT SIMPLY A MATTER OF LOANS | image tagged in dr strangelove | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
so wells fargo is allowed to profit from the loan,and profit from their investment.
then add in the fact the pipelines are exempt from taxes,both federal and state.

and it is literally a win-win for wells fargo,and the American tax payer is footing the bill for extremely expensive clean up,protecting threatened aquifers,and farmland.

so basically:wells fargo and DAPL reap the profits and the tax payer pays for the risk.this is the dark side of socialism that has become the status quo in America.

am I making sense? this chat system is clunky.
