A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History April 10, 1941: Police burned down Seattle's largest Hooverville. Hoovervilles were shanty towns set up by workers impoverished during the Great Depression to protest the policies of President Hoover. Seattle's Hooverville was first constructed in 1931 and encompassed 25 city blocks. The police had burnt it down twice before, but each time, residents had rebuilt it. There were other symbols of poverty that were named after President Hoover. For example, a Hoover blanket was a blanket made of old newspapers. A Hoover flag was a pocket turned inside out. And Hoover leather was old cardboard used to line the insides of worn-out shoes.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hooverville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hooverville</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>seattle</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History October 31, 1931: Unemployed lumberjack Jesse Jackson led the inauguration of the first Hooverville on vacant land owned by the Port of Seattle near Pioneer Square. Within two days over 50 shacks were erected and by 1934, 600-1000 people were living in them. By 1941, Seattle's “Hooverville” covered 25 blocks. Hoovervilles eventually spread throughout the country. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkingClass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreatDepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreatDepression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeless</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hooverville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hooverville</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History October 24, 1929: The NY Stock Exchange lost 11% of its value in one of the most devastating stock market crashes in the history of the US. It marked the beginning of the Great Depression, which saw unemployment in the U.S. rise to 25% and as high as 33% in other countries. Farming communities were particularly hard hit, with crop prices falling by 60%. The depression coincided with the Dust Bowl, further exacerbating the loan defaults and suffering in the Midwest. Hundreds of thousands of Americans became homeless, and began congregating in shanty towns that were known as "Hoovervilles." In 1933, Congress passed the Glass–Steagall Act mandating a separation between commercial banks and investment banks, in hopes of averting another similar crash. However, there have since been two stock market crashes worse than Black Thursday: The Black Monday of October 19, 1987, when the Dow Jones fell 22.6%, and the Black Monday of March 16, 2020, when the stock market fell by 12.9%. Both saw bigger percentage drops than any single day of the 1929 crash.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkingClass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StockMarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StockMarket</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreatDepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreatDepression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hunger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hunger</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hooverville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hooverville</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DustBowl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DustBowl</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlCapone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlCapone</span></a></p>
