Transcription:

The Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, Sir: We the undersigned formerly doing sewing for the United States arsenal at Philadelphia most respectfully remonstrate against the action of Col. Crossman in taking the work from us and giving it to Contractors who will not pay wages on which we can live-many of us have husbands, fathers, sons & brothers now in the army and from where we derived our support. Deprived of that as we are, our only mode of living was by sewing and we were able by increasing exertions to barely live at the prices by the Arsenal- the Contractors who are speculators offer about fifty per cent of the prices paid heretofore by the arsenal-we respectfully ask your attention to our case  we have all given satisfaction in the work we have done. then why should the government money be taken from the families of the poor to enrich the wealthy speculative without any gain to the government.

Very Respy

Yours +c

if israel invades rafah on march 10—the start of ramadan—as they've threatened, i want to see every physical manifestation of the us-israel military industrial complex burn to the fucking ground

new york times is talking a lot of shit for being in the country with the Amtrak Acela and California's high speed rail project prices

Hey y'all! Incredibly weird question for you: If a contractor sends you receipts for reimbursement by forwarding you an email from a city official from a city that's not the city the receipts are from. And the receipts are fake. Is there like...a specific city department to report the employee sending falsified receipts from their official work email? Does it make it better or worse that the receipts are completely unrelated to their job with the city? Do I call the HR department?????

I am going to do my taxes tonight 🤢 maybe this will resolve the feeling of impending doom I’ve been suffering from. Sorry for ending a sentence with a preposition

That is quite nice..

to take a more editorial tone its like. back in the day they abolished slavery and were like instead you have to work for 40 hours without pay and if you work over that you get way way less than what other people make and also we will try as hard as possible not to let you work over that because we dont want to pay you. and this is not slavery. and like we still have people doing this rhetorical trick now.
