People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be poor and how close middle class is to being below the poverty in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

"I always take the middle class as the threshold where you have sufficient passive income ... Examples would be landlords"

Please don't bring parasites into this

Fair enough, but in a more just system, the impoverished class would barely exist, if at all.

There is no 'middle' class. There is only ownership and labour.

At this point? I'd go back way farther. Probably whenever the remnants of the Dixiecrats moved into their ranks.

I wouldn't want to eat deep-freeze-dried meat anyway.

NSW government orders nurses and midwives to stop organizing and striking, orders removal of strike information from social media. Union defies government, fined $130,000 for doing so. in c/unions@sh.itjust.works

You can't remove the right to strike. That's dictatorship-level behaviour. Fuck the NSW govt. Solidarity from Canada.

Heavy snowfall brings power outages, school closures in Quebec | CBC News (www.cbc.ca)
 

"Hundreds of thousands of households are without power Tuesday morning across Quebec after a first night of relentless snowfall brought as much as 35 centimeters of snow to parts of the province. Some school boards are asking that students stay at home."

Again I ask, why are our transmission lines not underground? Is it because it is too difficult to dig into the Canadian Shield or something? I live in Sudbury, so I am not one of the effected, but it seems bad that deep into the 21st century we can still have power outages like this that impact so many of our citizens.
