    I mean arguments like this are tricky, cause on one hand, buying property to rent out is one of the ways out of wage slavery, but on the other hand housing is (should be) a human right, so where do we draw the line?

    I’d love a beach condo to use 2-4 weeks out of the year and rent out the rest of the time, but wouldn’t I just be inflating property value artificially, keeping locals frozen out of the market?

    I also don’t really think the answer is all property being state-owned, but what do I know









  • In addition to the coal wars in the east, there was the Colorado coal war and the ludlow massacre Also some really nasty stuff at the Carnegie steel works in Pittsburgh perpetrated by HC Frick while Carnegie himself turned a blind eye.

    The labor movement is specifically and deliberately ignored by ALL public schools in the US

    Labor laws, like no child labor, the weekend, 8 hour day- they are written in the blood of fallen workers, the blood of their children and wives.








  • Beans and rice takes many forms, and is generally cheap, and fairly nutritious

    I’m a fan of pork butt (or shoulder) in a slow cooker all day (or oven on low) it manages to be pretty cheap per serving, and you can spice it to match any cuisine

    Beef is just for special occasions unfortunately

    Some fish, like tilapia, can be cheap proteins… I cook mine with lemon and dill

    Canned proteins should not be overlooked

    Bread is one of those things that is cheaper to buy than make IMO

    If only cheese wasn’t so fucking expensive lol

    The noble potato, savior of many a meal
