euphronius posted:they could make daycare a pre tax expense to help but I don’t think that would help much They partially do in the most needlessly complex way possible, and it depends on the correct benefit account being offered by your employer. The way it’s implemented is stupid as hell.

In Training posted:it's something American capital made up as another psychological tool for preventing working class solidarity. The term middle class is older than America. Whenever people talk about how the middle class might be gutted, I like to refer to this: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/ch09.htm Relevant excerpt Old Karly posted:To sum up: the more productive capital grows, the more it extends the division of labour and the application of machinery; the more the division of labour and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together.

this is what i would consider to be the bare minimum social safety net, but look at the impact it still managed to have:   which is why something like that will never ever be allowed to happen again.

crucially the term “US Consumer” implies “US Citizen” but more than half the population doesn’t consume much because they’re dead loving broke. “US Consumer” is instead a subgroup of US Citizenry, and can conveniently shrink without anyone technically mentioning it and still being “right” when writing statements like these.

webcams for christ posted:first time brent has crossed $90 / barrel in 2023 The SPR is currently filling at a rate of about 6 uh 6,000x1000 a week right now. So 6 million barrels a week. Likely playing into the rise, among other factors.
