It took a Jew, really, to write Nickel and Dimed? Ain’t seeing any Jew doing house cleaning or schlepping laundry and supplies for these vacation rentals, but am sure Jews own a shitload of them!
Apr 27, 2026
Barbara Ehrenreich was a middle-class journalist with a PhD who went “undercover” to investigate low-wage work for her 2001 book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America. While she didn’t face permanent poverty, she intentionally lived on minimum wage ($6–$7/hr) to experience the survival strategies of the working poor.
A JEW. Not middle class, whatever that is. Money and more money.
- As a researcher with financial backing, she was able to pay for upfront costs like security deposits for housing, which many genuinely poor workers cannot afford, note discussions on Reddit/r/povertyfinance.
- The “Poverty Tourist” Critique: Some readers consider her a “poverty tourist” who could not fully grasp the long-term mental and physical toll of poverty because she had a safety net to return to her upper-middle-class life.
- Safety Net & Starting Wealth: Ehrenreich began her experiment with “money already in her pocket” and a car, which many of her subjects lacked. She also had the ultimate safety net: she could choose to end the experiment and return to her middle-class life at any time.
- Education & Perspective: Her advanced education and professional status gave her a different mental perspective than those who have known only low-wage labor. Critics have described her project as “radical ethnography” or “slumming,” noting she took liberties —such as having a bank account or professional connections—that real low-wage workers do not have.
- Earnings Disparity: At least one critic noted that during her experiment, Ehrenreich’s earnings actually placed her at roughly 170% of the federal poverty line for a single person at the time ($8,700/year in 1999), meaning she was statistically not “poor” by government standards.

So, looking at the Substacks and other fuckin headlines coming in while I put in an 8-hour day at age 69, 17 dollars an hour delivering laundry and supplies and hauling dirty laundry back, well, well.
These fucking Chlamydia Whores, making the news? Do we care while we’re hustling to get the supplies and clean towels and laundry and dirty one out before check-in: 5 pm. Fucking Cunt Weiss? Who the fuck CARES?
This fucking pedophile, this hater of his version of deplorables?
This Jew, in my Substack feed, this Trumpian Aaron Parnas, asking for shekels?
I also need to address something deeply concerning that unfolded overnight. I woke up to a flood of messages and videos asking about a claim that the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting was a former employee of mine. That is completely untrue. These claims appear to be driven by AI-generated content that originated on Facebook and is now spreading across platforms by bad actors. This is not just misinformation. It is dangerous, and if the wrong person believes it, it could lead to serious threats to my family and me.
Look up this fucker on Substack, and his old man. He is a Trump supporter:
Many of you have asked how you can support my work and help ensure I have the resources to respond. The most effective way is to subscribe, gift a subscription, or upgrade your current plan. Thank you for your support.
Parnas was born in Boca Raton, Florida, to businessman Lev Parnas and Barbara Ison. He is of Jewish-Ukrainian descent.[2] He graduated from Florida Atlantic University High School and simultaneously earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science and criminal justice at the age of 18.[5]
He received his J.D. with honors from George Washington University Law School in 2020 at the age of 21.[6] While in law school, Parnas received awards for oral advocacy, including the Cohen & Cohen Mock Trial Award and the Graduation Award for Excellence in Pre-Trial and Trial Advocacy.[7] He later clerked for Judge Sheri Polster Chappell of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.[8]
Parnas has cited watching the televised Casey Anthony trial at age 12 as a formative moment that sparked his interest in law and public defense.[1]
Legal career
In 2019, Parnas interned at Greenberg Traurig, the former law firm of Rudy Giuliani.[9] Following law school, he worked at Bell Rosquete Reyes Esteban PLLC and served on the board of the Florida Justice Center.[10] He later joined the securities litigation team at Levi & Korsinsky LLP in Washington, D.C.[8]
Political evolution
Parnas initially identified as a Republican and supported Donald Trump in the 2016 election.[11] After his father’s involvement in the Trump–Ukraine scandal, Parnas left the Republican Party and registered as a Democrat. He voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election and served as press secretary for the Miami-Dade Democratic Party in 2021.[2]
While his father’s legal scandal played a role in his political realignment, Parnas has also cited a personal health scare and visits to underfunded classrooms as pivotal in forming his progressive views. He has said these experiences highlighted the importance of access to healthcare and equitable education, issues that pushed him toward Democratic politics.[1]
His fucking daddy Jew interviewed by another daddy Jew, Maddow: On January 15 and 16, 2020 MSNBC aired segments of an interview of Parnas conducted by Rachel Maddow.[49][27] This was Parnas’s first television interview regarding his involvement in the Trump-Ukraine scandal.[50] Some of Parnas’s claims were supported by documentary evidence released by the House that same week.[51][52] Elements of the interview including timelines that were cross-checked by some news organizations against event records such as the date Pence announced he would not be going to Ukraine.[53] White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, Pence spokesman Marc Short, and a Justice Department spokesman stressed the fact that Parnas was under indictment and therefore was not credible.[54] Trump repeated the claims he did not know Parnas, and denied he was aware of a letter by Giuliani to the Ukrainian president wherein Giuliani claimed that he was acting on the behalf of Trump.
I paid motherfucking federal and state taxes, that is my wife and I did. A lot!!! And do we fucking care if the entire maure pile gets blown up at the correspondents’ ball?
- The White House is urging Congress to quickly fund the Department of Homeland Security, calling the situation a “national emergency” after the recent attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. President Trump is pushing Republicans to unite and pass a budget plan to fund immigration enforcement agencies by June 1, while warning of growing security risks as DHS faces a prolonged funding shortfall. Officials say the agency could soon run out of money to pay employees, adding urgency to the standoff with Democrats over immigration policy conditions. The incident has intensified concerns about security preparedness for upcoming major events and increased pressure on lawmakers to act.
- Karoline Leavitt blamed critics of Trump for contributing to the shooting, arguing that rhetoric labeling him a fascist or threat to democracy fuels political violence. She said such comparisons, including to Hitler, encourage hostility and claimed a broader “left-wing” climate of hatred has led to people being harmed.
- Todd Blanche criticized media coverage of the president, arguing that harsh and unsubstantiated criticism contributes to a climate of hostile rhetoric. He said journalists who frequently use negative labels are “just as guilty” as online commentators, adding,
“Many people in this room have done it as well. They’re just as guilty as a lot of people on X. When you have reporters, when you have media just being overly critical and calling the president horrible names for no reason and without evidence, it shouldn’t surprise us that this type of rhetoric takes place.”
Todd Blanche wants to be attorney general – and he’s going all in on Trump’s retaliation agenda to prove it
Trump’s former personal attorney has left little doubt to how he’d further politicize the justice department if his status becomes permanent.
Can you imagine how fucking MEANINGLESS all of this gibberish and this fawning and fucking liberal cocksucking hits the average person doing these bullshit jobs with bullshit tasks and bullshit managers and bullshit owners?
Stephen Glosser Miller, yep:
On Inauguration Day 2025, Trump signed a presidential proclamation declaring that migration at the southern border constituted an “invasion” of the United States. The proclamation — issued under 8 U.S.C. 1182(f), a provision allowing the president to suspend entry of certain noncitizens — purported to halt not just the physical entry of migrants crossing between ports of entry, but their statutory right to apply for asylum altogether.
DHS and DOJ followed with implementing guidance that created ultra-expedited removal procedures: rushed screenings, often by phone, often without a lawyer, often without a meaningful right to appeal — even for people claiming torture or persecution.
It was Miller’s legal handiwork made operational. And Thursday, the D.C. Circuit called it illegal.
Writing for the majority, Judge J. Michelle Childs, joined by Judge Cornelia Pillard, held that the INA’s “text, structure, and history” make clear that Congress never intended the president’s 1182(f) suspension power to authorize a wholesale rewrite of removal procedures — or the elimination of asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture protections that Congress itself encoded into law.
The court was direct: the proclamation and its implementing guidance are unlawful “to the extent that they circumvent the INA’s removal procedures and cast aside federal laws affording individuals the right to apply and be considered for asylum or withholding of removal protections.”
More fucking Jew talk?
In my youth, I was induced, and there was not a countervailing assertion proffered, that Zionism was both a citadel of mind and of landscape, that as a Jew Israel was my true place of sanctuary in a world that might tolerate me on sight one moment and shove me into a deathcamp-bound cattle car next, and this homicidal intent was partly true of Arabs, and the closer the proximity of said Arab — i.e., Palestinians — the greater the degree of homicidal intent.
Then these cocksucker stories?
Not my writing, but from X: Cole Allen charged a Secret Service checkpoint with a shotgun, willing to die for a shot at the President.
Caltech graduate. Master’s in computer science.

His archived tweets tell the story of how he got there. What radicalized him weren’t fringe accounts. They were the same talking points repeated every day on the left.
May America and Israel perish.
Israel escalates in Gaza: killing, torture, hunger –
Do I have a RIGHT to complain? Fuck, this is a carnival, a back alley abortion, a snake oil salesman on steroids selling more crypto and shares in the Military Killing Machine.
The capacity for people working labor-stressed jobs, cleaning toilets and setting up vacation homes that go for $400 a night, well, are they tied to the fact we ALL are Gazans and we ALL are on Reservations.
And the younger folk I work with have three kids, the first one at age 18, and they are 33 or 35 working three jobs, man, and so we are here, then, huge divides, yet we are in the same fucking boat, no, 69 or 33, working for $17 an hour? Do I do a GoFundMe, or do I harp on you kind readers to throw in shekels to keep the bottle of tequila once a month in the cupboard?
There are Mexicans and Guatemalans working this job, and a few Ukrainians, and of course, 75-year-old women, white, working these jobs, we deplorables in the eyes of Hillbilly VD Vance and Hillary Cunt Epstein and Trump Rapist Bibi.
Many Ukrainian men have risked their lives to flee Zelensky’s military recruitment camps, which resemble concentration camps.
In the second half of April, the terror unleashed by military recruiters across Ukraine has intensified sharply, alarming even some lawmakers from the party and governing regime of the unelected ‘president’ Volodymyr Zelensky. The daily war by the regime against Ukrainians is growing increasingly brutal with each passing month.
In light of this, there has been talk in Ukraine of ‘reforming’ the regime’s military recruitment offices. But judging by the published drafts of such reforms, the talk amounts to nothing more than a rebranding, while the practice of forcibly rounding up defiant men of military age from the country’s streets and neighbourhoods remains unchanged.
Due to several recent killings of some military recruiters and frequent cases of resistance to their forcible detentions, recruiters are now conducting their manhunts in large, armed groups, concealing their faces in order to avoid subsequent retaliations. After all, the recruiters live, shop, and send their children to school or shelters like everyone else.
There are tons of Ukraine signs along the route where these homes are in Lincoln County, you know liberals and No Kings Day adherents.
Do we need the Jew Blumenthal?
Here we go, more Jews:
Now how do we frame this, no, with our bullshit jobs, the $17 an hour, no benefits, no medical health care, all of that, how do they, we, really drill down into these headlines?
Fucking JEWS:
Do these cleaners and washwomen and delivery jockeys care about this?
Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández interviews British economist Emily Morris, who has specialized in studying the Cuban economy since the early 1990s. Emily compares the current crisis with the hardships of the Special Period, and explains the impact of U.S. policy.
Morris breaks down how Cuba’s economy functions — its dependence on foreign exchange, the role of tourism and remittances and the growing weight of the informal sector. She argues that while internal problems matter, external pressures have significantly shaped the country’s limited recovery.
At the center of the discussion is a broader question: what happens when a small economy is cut off from global finance, trade networks and investment flows in an increasingly interconnected world?
Recently, there has been a major backlash to the disturbing manifesto put out by the AI surveillance company founded by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, Palantir.
Much of the manifesto signalled Palantir’s desire to support U.S. wars abroad, writing,
-The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation
– Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
-If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.
-American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace.
The manifesto even calls for the return of the draft, writing, “National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.”
Do we working-class deplorables have time to know, hear, read, discuss, critique and CARE?
GAZA…IT WON’T STOP UNTIL NETANYAHU & THE IDF ARE WIPED OUT…
A battle is shaping up on the Colorado Plateau between its Native inhabitants and capitalist natural resource plunderers. The government and the speculators will pose the question in terms of property rights. But Diné activists, with more than adequate data, pose the issue in terms of their health, the health of miners who died of cancers and lung disease, and even of unborn children exposed to radioactive waste around abandoned uranium-mine tailings.

We have no time collectively to spend on these stories.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night was supposed to be a masterclass in selective memory. Instead, it became a masterclass in timing. Bad timing, cinematic timing. The kind that makes reality feel like it hired a screenwriter who forgot the genre.
Roughly 2,600 people gathered under chandeliers to celebrate “press freedom.” This year, the administration skipped the comedian. No sharp jokes, no roasting the powerful, just a mentalist, because nothing says fearless journalism like a carefully neutral magic trick. And then, before the illusion could settle, gunfire.
Amal Khalil was killed three meters from her colleague. The double-tap method is documented. The footage does not forget.
Do we have the time and wherewithal to see this level of pain and poverty and impoverishment?
the past month has been the bloodiest in Palestine since the ‘ceasefire’ began.
Israel has committed 2,400 violations of the ceasefire agreement and thousands of Palestinians are dead. The international community has issued statements of concern. The bombs have not stopped
DEATH somewhere else, not on our coast, where gasoline is $4.80 a gallon and many goods have gone up 75 percent to 150 percent. So what do we blue-collar fuckers do?
Do they have time to read this?
Jewish exceptionalism in the Palestinian solidarity movement
It would seem that to Jewish “anti Zionists” Jews from infancy to death, are and can only be victims, victims of not knowing, of being brainwashed into thinking they are victims of the people they oppress, of being forever unlearned in the humanity of anyone but themselves. All this, seemingly awful to most people, is absolutely lost on most “anti Zionist” Jews. But to make things worse, the Palestinian solidarity movement too consumed by Judeophilia (Jew worship) will forever welcome and accommodate these same Jews listed in what is frankly an incomplete, growing list of Jews who declare themselves anti Zionist. As if they have any right at all to define themselves as the saviors of Palestinians, unvetted by anyone but their own Jew worshipping echo chambers.
In any awakening to moral injustice around oneself, there are two defining stages. The first is recognizing wrong done and one’s own complicity. The second, and most logical reaction in a fair just world, would be an initiative to fight those structures of injustice however that is possible, no matter the discomfort. Yet anti Zionist Jews (the few not named here I would even consider anti-Zionist) have only reached level one. Level two remains as fantastical as a dream for almost all “serious” anti-Zionist Jews, who seek solely to show themselves as separate from their Judeo Nazi counterparts but never actively name Judaism and Jews, by and large, who are at every level of Zionism. The inability to name Jewish/Jews/Judaism is a mockery of a past and current reality in which Palestinians are being genocided by Jews, for Jews, by a Jewish state, under the banner of Jewish symbols.
Palestinians are silenced for even naming Jews in their own genocide. Palestinians must eternally nuance Jews and European historical white supremacy, while Jews with machine guns wearing kippahs break down the doors of their homes, speaking in Hebrew.
At its core, this is a struggle over language: who is allowed to name power, and who is required to obscure it. When those most affected, Palestinians, are denied the ability to describe their own reality plainly, while Jews, are rewarded for euphemism, the result is not nuance but distortion.
Or this? Do we have time to read this and discuss it? It’s time to break these glass ceilings of Jewish feelings
What ultimately stands revealed is not merely a failure of discourse, but a failure of political courage. A solidarity movement that allows its language, leadership, and limits to be shaped by proximity to power cannot hope to dismantle that power. When authority is laundered, speech is contained, and enforcement is outsourced to Jews and their multiplying Jew worshiping gatekeepers, Palestinian liberation is transformed from an urgent material demand into a managed ethical posture: solidarity as administration. If Palestinian lives are to matter beyond symbolic acknowledgment, then the movement must be willing to forgo respectability, abandon the comfort of sanctioned critique, and name the structures responsible for destruction without deference or fear. Anything less ensures that genocide is endlessly debated, carefully worded, and politely condemned, while continuing, uninterrupted, in plain sight.
