You can go ahead and put this headline in your scrapbook of the 2020 Democratic presidential campaign; it’s got Elizabeth Warren, climate change, and unions all peacefully coexisting to bring back all those jobs that Barack Obama had created with the likes of Solyndra. Why, we should be thankful for the climate crisis for creating so many jobs so that coal miners don’t have to learn to code anymore.

Warren pulled the 1.2 million number out of a hat at her MSNBC town hall meeting Wednesday night:

"I'm looking to make about 1.2M new jobs": Sen. Warren says she is looking to bring jobs to America by focusing on fighting climate change #WarrenTownHall pic.twitter.com/Fnj6S47U3A — MSNBC (@MSNBC) June 6, 2019

“About” 1.2 million — we’ll just have to elect her to find out how close her estimate really was.

So government jobs, great… — Jax Dax (@JaxDax4) June 6, 2019

Socialism generally doesn’t do well creating jobs. — Wanda Woman (@alphaMOMster) June 6, 2019

Fake jobs concentrating on a hoax will do what to build this country? — Just another guy on the internet (@AdorabLDeplrabL) June 6, 2019

Maybe California can get back to building that high-speed train — that created jobs. No train, but some good paying jobs for doing nothing.

She doesn't know how to create a job. — Simon Ballister (@sballister) June 6, 2019

I think they asked how to save their jobs… they didn't ask about climate change.. sorry. It's not a good plan to save their jobs. — Pragmatism (@PragmatismTK) June 6, 2019

But how many will we lose? — deplorablecarpenter (@Littlwyng) June 6, 2019

What’s her estimate on how many jobs will be lost when the private health insurance industry is put out of business?

How dumb can you be and still breathe? Climate jobs? This is the most asinine thing I have ever heard from an adult. This sounds like little kids talking about grown up stuff! — Angry Edward Murrow (@LewisDa24472836) June 6, 2019

Like solyndra , piss away more tax money, dems are a joke — Mark F (@The_Real_MF_) June 6, 2019

What a load of crap. So called 'green jobs' will be about as abundant as Obama's 'shovel ready jobs' were. Government does not create jobs. Subsidized industries are not permanent until they no longer need subsidy. That requires demand. Free markets work, this BS don't work. — TechGuy20 (@guy20_tech) June 6, 2019

Elizabeth Warren plans to give the gov't control of education, health care, & jobs. Her solution to pay for it:

—Raise taxes to cancel student debt

—Raise taxes to fund gov't-run health care

—Raise taxes to increase min. wage Everyday Americans can't afford Warren's agenda. https://t.co/zvID7Z3roO — ROB (@rldenoyer) June 6, 2019

Don’t forget universal child care … wonder how many daycare centers will close up shop when the government starts telling them how much they can charge to provide their services to everyone in the country.

Good God this is SO DUMB with this obsession https://t.co/WhFa3OYMGd — Michael (@Michael2014abc) June 6, 2019

God damn she has completely lost her mind like all the Democratic candidates — Mr. Fantastico (@Marlomite) June 6, 2019

Hmmm. Trump brought 6 million new jobs in 2.5 years. — MNItalian (@italian_mn) June 6, 2019

It's a good thing that the Trump economy is doing well because Warren is going to need a job when she loses. — ArgonautsAndArchers (@D_Burns18) June 6, 2019
