Incarcerated firefighters in California currently earn between $5.80 and $10.24 per day and get an additional $1 per hour when deployed to an active emergency.
In 2026, the state will start to pay them $7.25 per hour in line with the federal minimum wage, which is less than half of the state's minimum wage of $16.50 per hour.

clawed back money from the war profiteers.
Now we are in a permanent war standing, and give tax breaks to extractive industries, polluters, and the billionaire owners of government contracted industries. And tax the idle rich, the investment class, at the lowest rate in history.
@stevewfolds some blue collar guy, making $60k a year near the end of his working years, desperately saves to put as much as he can into his 401k stocks to try and avoid a retirement in poverty. He couldn't even afford to save until his 40s.
We don't want to tax him much on his investments. But that is used as an excuse to tax idle billionaires at the same, ridiculously low, investment tax rate.
Roll all investment income into earnings, tax at the progressive rate.
Well, If you felt the need to draw this, I feel the need to express that this drawing is utterly vile and disgusting.

So, uh, it seems Smutlandia.com is closing down. This has been my home since I joined masto and I've really appreciated such an inclusive, welcoming space.
I would greatly appreciate recommendations for a new home that is open to the promotion and sharing of smutty content - books and art. A space that is lgbtq+ friendly and disability sympathetic (broadly, not just shouting about alt text) where I can connect with other writers and artists. #smut #smutstodon #erotica #WritingCommunity

Lesson for the Left:
If being even moderately Left sees you accused by your opponents - Centrist and Rightwards - of being "a pure communist", then you've already baked in the exact same opposition that you'd face for being an actual pure communist. There's no more need to moderate your views on their account. Might as well be as radical as you think you should be.
