Sometimes the pulps cut to the heart of the modern condition. What else is 21st century life, after all, but Roman Legionnaires with blasters fighting gorillas in an arena while the women clinging to them break the Fourth Wall by staring at the viewer?

No I mean private property. You can have personal property in a classless society (no one wants your toothbrush) but you can’t own land or resources in a classless society.

People wish they could have private property and no economic classes but it needs to be drilled out of their heads.

Randy Stewart Rainbow (born July 6, 1981) is an American comedian, singer and actor. He is best known for spoof interviews that he uploads to YouTube that blend political satire and musical parodies from a left-leaning perspective.[1][2]

Early life
Randy Rainbow was born to a Jewish family in Huntington, New York. Rainbow is his real last name. He grew up in Commack, New York. When he was 10 years old, his father, Gerry Rainbow (né Ribner[3]),[4][5][6] a musician and talent booker,[7] moved the family to Plantation, Florida. Rainbow credits his grandmother as his greatest comedic influence. In a 2017 interview with The New York Times, he recalled, "It was really my grandmother who was the biggest influence because she'd talk back to the celebrities and politicians on TV. She was a combination of Joan Rivers, Elaine Stritch, Betty White, and Bea Arthur rolled into one." After dropping out of community college in his early 20s, Rainbow moved back to New York to pursue a theatrical career. It was then he began blogging and making comedic videos.[1]

The average American teacher makes $72,000, but one in three are so broke they’re taking on side hustles like Uber driving | Fortune Teaching is seen as an AI-proof career by Gen Z—but with the American Dream becoming more out of reach, educators have turned to second jobs to make ends meet.

A new survey finds 1-in-3 teachers are working second jobs during the school year so they can make ends meet.

“Educators, who make every other profession possible, should be entitled to a decent wage that paves a pathway to the middle class.” — @rweingarten.bsky.social

No sooner had Congress equalized the pay of white and black soldiers than various schemes for a black army were revived, the most ambitious plan remaining Martin Delany's "corps d'Afrique." This time he took his idea directly to President Lincoln. What he proposed was a black army commanded by black officers that would operate essentially as a guerrilla-type force in the interior, emancipating and arming the slaves wherever they went. "They would require but little," Delany assured the President, "as they could subsist on the country as they went along." President Lincoln, as Delany described his reaction, could barely contain his enthu-siasm. "This is the very thing I have been looking and hoping for," he told Delany,
"but nobody offered it." Having agreed to command and raise such an army, Delany was commissioned a major and ordered to South Carolina. The war ended before he could put his plan into operation, but Delany remained in South Carolina and subsequently embraced and acted upon still another vision—political power in a state where blacks comprised a majority of the population

Everyone needs to know the extent of what the U.S did.

An unarmed Iranian ship invited to a joint Indian naval exercise paraded its sailors before the president alongside other participants, including the U.S.

At the last minute, the U.S. withdrew from the exercise and torpedoed the Iranian vessel

Temco drivers unionize despite stiff opposition — a first for a Home Depot subsidiary “We did have management telling us that we were going to lose our jobs and would shut down.”

For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized.

Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters.

They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco.
