"Smarsh maps her family’s impoverished lives against the destruction of the working class that the Reagan era wrought: the demise of the family farm, the dismantling of public health care, the defunding of public schools, and wages so stagnant that full time laborers could no longer pay the bills. Readers will learn what Smarsh did: the working poor in America are sold a lie. Working hard in this country probably won’t get you ahead after all."

If they are missing something from their circular flows, organize that.

Figure our what are the biophysical limits to their resource extractions and stay within those.

I'm using ActivityPub with our team in a P2P manner now. Experimenting with combos of P2P and federations. This identity I am tooting from now is a one of many in social.coop. @bhaugen is just me, P2P, federated with a few other personal pubs and also social.coop and all the other multi-person sites addressed in this toot.

I assume somebody has already posted these here, and I might have seen and bosted the first link here before, but I just got these from a friend and it won't hurt to do it again.
