The most absurd propaganda shit I see is when some magazine or newspaper runs an article of money management advice from someone who's wealthy.

The ultra rich, especially those born into excess wealth always seem to be the people with the worst money management skills out there.

I want grocery shopping tips to save from a single parent with many dependents and yet don't qualify for stamps, let them tell me their tips for stretching the buck, not some mf who's never actually had to work and worry trying to tell those they exploit to just cut out all luxuries, and somehow being more miserable will magically save enough to buy a house

Disappearing schools, families forced out – and we call this progress

“Last week, Lambeth announced that a secondary school founded in 1685 will close for good this summer, with its students farmed out elsewhere. In Camden, St Michael’s primary will not even make the end of the school year – it closes this month, the fourth in the borough to go since 2019. Days before the Easter holiday, Hackney warned that two of its primaries are likely to fold and another four may have to merge to survive. Neighbouring Islington is considering closures, while Southwark believes 16 primaries are at risk.

“This is a huge story, not only about marooned children and panicked parents, or redundant teachers and struggling councils, but the very future of our major cities. These schools are not shutting because they are bad, but because inner London no longer has enough children to fill them. The dead centre of Britain’s political and economic powerhouse is driving out families – and its education system is now taking an almighty hit. Hackney, for instance, has 589 fewer kids in reception today than it did in 2014, a shortfall equivalent to about 20 vacant classrooms. Since schools mainly receive cash per pupil, empty desks mean debts, and debts force closures …

“If this historic shift has a hinge point, it’s the 2010s, when two big forces began reshaping the capital. The first came from Downing Street: since David Cameron moved into No 10, successive Tory governments have taken benefit money from the very youngest and handed it to the oldest. The Resolution Foundation calculates that newborns have lost £1,500 a year in entitlements, while those aged 80 and above have gained more than £500 …

“The post-crash decade also saw inner London turned into a theme park for property speculators. The Bank of England was spraying about hundreds of billions of pounds like it was champagne at a grand prix, the then chancellor George Osborne was chucking taxpayer’s money at the property market, and London councils, including some of Gould’s Labour colleagues in Camden, were allowing developers to run riot. The arguments about gentrification soon descended into cliches about hipsters and Foxtons, when what was really being decided was who would live in the city and who it would serve.”

“These violent delights have violent ends.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about how this show could be used as an allegory for the situation of the US: The working poor being mistreated and abused by the ultra-rich. It makes you think about the possibilities, right?

The Atlantic is the Most Bourgeoisie Magazine Ever

It always hurts when a publication that I used to respect ends up becoming everything that it used to be against. Or at least everything I used to think it was against. Because the reality is that it might always have been bullshit, and this publication has always been a rich-person, pretentious magazine that hates the poor. Especially the working poor. This magazine LOVES to shit on the…

TFW they give you 7 days to prepare and procure a lawyer, but everyone is on spring break and no one takes criminal cases. Had myself a good cry(or 3) and got on with it. Went to work. Stretched my ever shrinking budget to cover groceries and rent. Cared for my girls as best I could. I pulled up my big girl panties and kept on mom-ing on.

To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less. ~

Need Help Affording Toiletries and Water

I’m embarrassed to ask, because I’ve been working hard this past semester to be self-sufficient and independent, but I need to help affording toiletries and buying water until the 1st of the month.

I’ve been super lucky to get an on-campus job that provides room and board, as well as having a guaranteed paid 40 hours a week job. However, because training started yesterday (05/15), I won't get my first paycheck until June 10th (semimonthly paycheck). From my GA position for this past spring, I won’t have any income until the 1st (when I receive my last GA stipend for the Spring 2023 semester). Between paying all my bills, my summer health fee for therapy, for new bedding (different bed size in summer dorm), and buying work slacks, I have $30 to my name.

I’ve reapplied for my assistantship for the upcoming school year and am planning to save 80% of my earnings so that I can move to an off-campus University affiliated apartment (I just want to stay in one place for a year), but with not having any help from anyone, I'm stressed and scared about going without the basics for the rest of the month.

I’m asking for help because I’ve worked really hard to get to this point, don’t want to jeopardize my job (can’t get a second job), and I’m the only person I rely on (my family will not help me). I’ve attached proof of employment and the pay schedule. Anything helps, whether it’s a donation or a reblog.
