Hey y’all~
We’ve been running low pantry wise for awhile in our house and now it’s gotten kind of unavoidable. I can stretch out $35 for a long time grocery wise~

Monday I’m being hooked up by in-law to a hiring agent, so hopefully this is a turn for the better.
Thank you so much for reading/ boosts 🌸✨

How We Forgot the “Jobs” Part of the #MarchOnWashington for #Jobs and Freedom
The #antiracism of #MartinLutherKing Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech has overshadowed the demands for #economic justice at the historic 1963 #protest.
There was 10-point list called “What We Demand.”
Seven is “a massive federal program to train and place all #unemployed workers — Negro and white"
Eight is “a national #minimumwage act that will give all Americans a decent #StandardOfLiving"

#Latvia had 62,200 people #unemployed in July 2023, which was 4,100 less than a year earlier but 600 more than a month ago, the Central Statistical Bureau reported. The country's actual #unemployment rate stood at 6.5%, which was down 0.4 percentage points over a year.

Today in Labor History August 16, 1819: Police attacked unemployed workers demonstrating in St. Peter's Field, Manchester, England. When the cavalry charged, at least 18 people died and over 600 were injured. The event became know as the Peterloo Massacre, named for the Battle of Waterloo, where many of the massacre victims had fought just four years earlier. Following the Napoleonic Wars there was an acute economic slump, terrible unemployment and crop failures, all worsened by the Corn Laws, which kept bread prices high. Only 11% of adult males had the vote. Radical reformers tried to mobilize the masses to force the government to back down. The movement was particularly strong in the north-west, where the Manchester Patriotic Union organized the mass rally for Peter’s Field. As soon as the meeting began, local magistrates tried to arrest working class radical, Henry Hunt, and several others. Hunt inspired the Chartist movement, which came shortly after Peterloo.

John Lees, who later died from wounds he received at the massacre, had been present at the Battle of Waterloo. Before his death, he said that he had never been in such danger as at Peterloo: "At Waterloo there was man to man but there it was downright murder." In the wake of the massacre, the government passed the Six Acts, to suppress any further attempts at radical reform. The event also led indirectly to the founding of the Manchester Guardian newspaper.

Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote about the massacre in his poem, “The Masque of Anarchy.” The authorities censored it until 1832, ten years after his death. Mike Leigh’s 2018 film Peterloo is an excellent portrayal of the massacre, and the events leading up to it. Many writers have written novels about Peterloo, including the relatively recent “Song of Peterloo,” by Carolyn O'Brien, and “All the People,” Jeff Kaye. However, perhaps the most important is Isabella Banks's 1876 novel, “The Manchester Man,” since she was there when it happened and included testimonies from people who were involved.

Today in Labor History August 11, 1894: Federal troops drove over 1,000 jobless workers from the nation's capital. Led by Charles "Hobo" Kelley, an unemployed activist from California, and Jacob Coxey, they camped in Washington D.C. starting in July. Kelley's Hobo Army included a young journalist named Jack London and a young miner-cowboy named Big Bill Haywood. Frank Baum was an observer of the protest and some say it influenced his Wizard of Oz, with the Scarecrow representing the American farmer, the tin man representing industrial workers and the Cowardly Lion representing William Jennings Bryan, all marching on Washington (Oz) to demand redress from the president (the Wizard). 650 miners, led by a "General" Hogan, captured a Northern Pacific train at Butte, Montana, en route to the protest. The Feds caught up with them at Billings, forcing a surrender, but a few eventually made it to Washington.

Anyone else have the experience where they quit their job on principle, only to find they couldn’t get another and to have to turn around and ask for your job back?

My wife says I’m an idiot, and who am I to disagree

#Unemployed

I do enjoy spam threats from the government.

Yes, Mr Varadkar, I would like a job or some contract work too. That would be nice! I didn't expect to be unemployed this long either! 🙃

I applied for a job yesterday and have actively been trying to find even short term contract work! I would rather not be unemployed...

Coming up on my 4th month of unemployment, I had my 3rd interview today. Just like the 1st one, I'm just not that excited about this opportunity.

So maybe I'll just keep writing.

Why #unemployed workers are so burnt out

It looks as if the #Tory voter suppression plan worked better than previously believed, with #unemployed & #disabled voters worse affected. Job done for the #Tories.

Tonight, for the first time in years, I dreamt I had to go to #school. It was like a #nightmare because I didn’t want to go. I woke up and my initial relive, after realising t was a #dream, was replaced by the realisation: I’m #unemployed. 😢

Voter suppression appears to be working well, I see. England does it so much better than the US.

#MyGlassIsHalfFull it makes me oddly happy when I go to put a hold on a #library eBook and there is a massive line.

Like sure, if I wasn't #unemployed it would be cool to just go buy a book and then read/intend to read it right away. But there's something nice about seeing that 27 other people want to read that book, too.

Seguimos a la cabeza de desempleo juvenil. Las políticas izquierdistas es lo que provocan. Da igual quién ostente el poder. Por eso, la situación en España se prolonga en décadas, un poco mejor a veces, peor en otros momentos.

If you’re #unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any #work.

Just look #around: A #housing shortage, #crime, #pollution; we need better #schools and #parks. Whatever #our #needs, they all require work. And as long as we have #unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.

So #ask #yourself, what kind of #world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the #profit needs of #business.

This #country was not built by the huge #corporations or #government #bureaucracies. It was built by #people who work. And, it is #working people who should #control the work to be done. Yet, as long as #employment is tied to #somebody else’s #profits, the work won’t get done.
