How workers get trapped by “bondage fees”
Growing up in Toronto, I naturally held NYC in awe. As the joke goes, it takes two Torontonians to change a lightbulb: one to change it, and one to go to New York and make sure lightbulbs are still cool. When I went to New York, I had a great place to stay: my cousin Maxine’s rent-controlled apartment in a midtown doorman building off 23d and Lex.

What comes after neoliberalism?

Hi I want to let you kids know how effective these walk outs are: public schools are payed by attendance. Meaning if you’re not going to class the whole school isn’t getting payed their share. Now if it’s just like the normal kid has a sick day that’s normal.
But a class of 200? And you know who’s getting the blame? Administration. So kids continue to plan your walk outs in DROVES. Convince the kid with perfect attendance to join you, get your teacher involved by having them accept your homework at a later time.
You kids deserve a proper education and school experience. Don’t let these adults take that away from you.
HOLY SHIT that’s cool.
