Awesome, thanks for informing me and others!

"Que Mala."

An economy where people were better off and were not forced to rely on overtime and muiltiple jobs did exist.

Fifty years ago, nearly a third of U.S. workers belonged to a union. Today, it's one in 10. But the decline has not been the same for every state. Here is a map showing how union membership has changed across the country.^[[1] 50 Years Of Shrinking Union Membership, In One Map | February 23, 2015 | Quoctrung Bui | https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/23/385843576/50-years-of-shrinking-union-membership-in-one-map]

“Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It.”

Tangent critique about labels: When using the word "progressives," it does not hold any meaning if you do not explain what it means to people; everyone has their own definition of such lables.

A similar situation occurs when we use "far left" and "far right," because most of our politicians would be considered Republican-lites, even the Justice Democrats (they are closer to Republicans than to people on the "left', IMO). 

I consider myself on the "left," due to being highly critical of the government, our three-letter agencies, our military, and as well as the MSM; I am also antiwar and for the working class people.

I think it has to do with the working class; a majority is struggling to live paycheck to paycheck even with both parents having an income. Yes, some remember their parents or grandparents (wathcing families on television) would only have to work 40 hours a week in a single-income home, and that was enough for the family to have a comfortable life. 

They were being paid a living wage. 

Now the working class continues to struggle while the owner class's profits hit an all-time high. 

This article seems to just be fearmongering for the new status quo agenda (the new PR name is Project 2025), while only calling out "far-right" and not the duopoly that is enabling the struggles of the working class.

These are just more articles that help keep diving for the working class without addressing the real systematic problems our society is facing. 

Tradwives first began trending online in 2020, when people were looking to wring excitement and comfort out of the smallest household tasks. Although there’s no single definition of “tradwife” – and many female influencers who’ve been decorated with the label don’t use it or even reject it – you know the tradwife when you see her. She is probably baking sourdough in an immaculate outfit, has a gaggle of kids (or wants them), and suggests – either silently or very loudly, like Williams – that life is better when women adhere to “traditional” gender roles and perfect at-home domesticity and nurturing.

Tradwives portray a fundamentally conservative and individual solution to that societal failure: retreat not only into the home, but also into history. Using the iconography of an idealized past, they evoke the economic and emotional fantasy that families, and especially women, can opt out of the complexity of modern society. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could choose to live on one income? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could choose to stay home and raise children, rather than be forced into it because childcare is so damn expensive?

But 19th-century homesteading, the source of so much inspiration for both tradwives and the GOP – was not a private endeavor undertaken by hardy men and their supportive wives. It was the result of the huge government subsidy program known as the Homestead Act. The 1950s, another conservative inspiration, were also shaped by government subsidies for housing and education – as well as a post-second world war movement to pressure women out of the workforce – that briefly made it economically possible for vast numbers of white American women to live as housewives. (These subsidies were nowhere near as available to people of color.)

The social and economic conditions that made the nuclear family structure so dominant in the 1950s were also exceedingly unique. Except for this post-war period, it has been far from traditional for US families to be made up of a breadwinner husband, a wife who stays home to do unpaid cooking and cleaning as well as 2.5 kids who get to enjoy an extended childhood.

Many so-called tradwives do openly work for money – often through home-based small businesses, influencing or a combination of the two, such as selling courses on how to be a stay-at-home influencer. Like all influencers, their product is their own lifestyle.

Tradwifery is not a monolith, and some of the most popular women who have been labeled “tradwives” by the internet don’t talk about politics or gender roles. But social media algorithms and chatter can co-opt them into conservative projects about femininity and families that these women may not personally support.

After I watched several Williams videos on YouTube, the platform started serving me ads for the Alliance Defending Freedom, the powerhouse Christian law firm that masterminded the overturning of Roe and continues to chip away at abortion and LGBTQ+ rights. In May, Media Matters for America found that watching tradwife content on TikTok led its “For You” Page to be flooded with far-right conspiracy theory content “within an afternoon”.

Despite the tradwives’ popularity, it’s not financially feasible for many women to quit their jobs. It’s not even clear that women want to. Almost 80% of women between the ages of 25 and 54 are now part of the US workforce.

IMO: Anytime you had a question that you wanted to learn about, whether it be shows or science, you could go into your preferred search engine and type reddit and [your question].

A good amount of discussions on the topic would show up and still do.

One day people will use Lemmy as the search engine to look for those discussions, hopefully!

No, but he does appear in my dreams!^[[1]Wormhat for Charlie Always Sunny s6e10 [00:38 | APR 29 2018 | Rachel Reynolds] https://youtu.be/4VjAvGIckN4 | different kinds of worm hats on always sunny ]

Thanks, Satan!

It seems there is a duplicate in the Sabby Sabs community; I will remove said duplicate once I have found it!

Thanks again for informing me!

Don't even get me started on birds; they are not real, and don't even start quoting bird law to prove that they are.^[[1] It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia | Bird Law [01:47 | JUL 23 2020 | FX Networks] | "For all your avian-related legal needs."]

Edit: added a bit of information below for those interested

A/B testing (also known as split testing or bucket testing) is a methodology for comparing two versions of a webpage or app against each other to determine which one performs better. A/B testing is essentially an experiment where two or more variants of a page are shown to users at random, and statistical analysis is used to determine which variation performs better for a given conversion goal

In an A/B test, you take a webpage or app screen and modify it to create a second version of the same page. This change can be as simple as a single headline, button or be a complete redesign of the page. Then, half of your traffic is shown the original version of the page (known as control or A) and half are shown the modified version of the page (the variation or B).

The following is an A/B testing framework you can use to start running tests:

1. Collect data:
2. Identify goals:
3. Generate test hypothesis:
4. Create different variations:
5. Run experiment:
6. Wait for the test results:
7. Analyze results:
