As you see you see story after story about the “labor shortage” (not real), ask yourself, how little you would work for?
”The bureau reported in 2020 that the average annual wage for hosts was $24,800.”

As Tyler Walicek writes in Truthout.org:
“In staggering contrast to prevailing stereotypes, between 40 and 60 percent of homeless people are employed.”

The web runs on ad technology. And it’s full of fraud and deception and lies. Why is it so hard to navigate, understand, and regulate? Well the sheer size of it could play a part.
From Charlie Warzel‘s interview with Shoshana Wodinsky;
“The Martech 5000 is wild. It’s more or less 8000 companies all generating, like, billions of dollars in revenue. When you look at that thing, you’re looking at the guts of the internet. Like, that’s how the internet gets funded. That’s how people like me — I mean almost all media — get our salaries paid.”
The internet is full of trash: swears, perverts, and republicans. But there is a subset of Twitch streamers who are wholesome and nice and you should watch/support them!

-An Original Blob
By Dylan Barrow (@vrydisgruntled)
The battle for Racial justice and fair labor practices have been front and center in the South for centuries. What you may not know is that leftist organizations have played a big part in that fight.
The South is the region with the most to lose due to climate change. The links below show how failures and successes in land conservation in the South have affected their areas plus how the South is adapting to the new challenges brought on by climate change
Did you know that some of the South’s most famous leaders and thinkers were also Leftys?
+ Dylan Barrow is a photographer from Northern Alabama, currently living in Savannah, Georgia. He specializes in capturing the landscapes and architecture of the American South. He has been featured in several Southern focused publications such as Southern Glossary Magazine, Wonder South Journal, and Okra Magazine. Most recently he participated in the High Tide, Low Country exhibit featured at Photopoint Gallery in Richmond Hill, Georgia. He can currently be found capturing the ebbs and flows of the Low Country region of Coastal Georgia and South Carolina.

Each list will contain the city’s DSA account, other left-leaning activist orgs, transit advocacy accounts, funny accounts, art accounts, local journalists who mostly cover local politics from a leftist perspective, etc.
