FDR threaded the needle with a safety net without abandoning capitalism, but there were significant communist and facist movements, and some rich people didn't like the social safety net policies and tried to instigate a facist coup.

Parton ("9 to 5," 1980) provides a more trenchant critique of capital than does Marx ("Das Kapital," 1867) because as a researcher, Parton correctly frames the problem of capital as exacerbating but not supplanting other pre-existing human dynamics such as gender roles. In this essay, I will

We’re not in the habit of recognizing celebrity deaths here at 925. That said, Dolly Parton is a national treasure and some folks here joke that Dolly is our Locals patron saint. After all her song “9 to 5” is our anthem. Today we remember all the love and kindness Dolly brought the world.
Tribute-style portrait of a Dolly Parton performing in a ruffled light purple blouse, arm raised and singing into a microphone, overlaid with the lyric: "You're just a step on the bossman's ladder / But you've got dreams he'll never take away."

There is no reason why anyone in this country should be working more than four days a week. NONE. Hell, the senate barely works 100 days a year. It's time for equality in this country, and the quality of life we can afford for everyone.

I think Chuck Schumer was wrong not to endorse Mamdani, who seems both totally free of antisemitism and thoroughly decent in his personal life, but Schumer's continued support for Platner in Maine makes his refusal to support his party's candidate for NYC mayor all the more indefensible.

"Are you familiar with the term “the grift shift”? That’s the idea that grifters shift from one grift to another. There’s a grift shift between the last crypto crash and the current AI boom. Companies that were mining Bitcoin suddenly decided they were going to be data centers. That's telling."

Cities are just as USAmerican as rural areas if not more. How many cities that get shat on are in the original area of the 13 colonies? I’ll wait. (NYC, Boston, Baltimore, Philly, Newark…). The rural west are the Johnny-come-latelies, not the cities.

I warned you www.jezebel.com/do-not-wash-...
Do not address your Cybertruck directly while washing it. Speak only of idle gossip, of the weather — which, again, has some pretty clear requirements for this situation to even be taking place at all — or the latest results of international dressage competitions. Use a light tone if you must talk at all; [highlight] hints of judgment or remonstrance will result in the rear two tires falling off, [/highlight] and the touchscreen will begin to bleed as from stigmata.

Farmers are coded "working class" as rural white people, even though they own their means of production. Meanwhile, I have a PhD and teach at a liberal arts college, so no one will ever call me working class, even though I earn a lot less and depend on wages. It's gendered vibes, all the way down.
