There have never been enough living wage jobs in the US for every working age adult who needs one.

That's the way they suppress wages and oppress workers - by not staffing their businesses fully and making one person do the work of two or three.

Foreclosure filings rose again in October, marking the eighth straight month of annual increases, with nearly 37,000 properties affected—up 19% from last year. While still below historic peaks, this trend signals potential cracks in the housing market amid higher borrowing costs. Florida, South Carolina, and Illinois led, with Tampa, Jacksonville, and Orlando experiencing the most activity. Experts see this as a slow normalization rather than a crash, but persistent rise could hint at broader economic challenges ahead. Will this accelerate or stabilize?

Foreclosures are surging as U.S. homeowners grapple with rising costs

6 October 1932, a "penny auction" took place in Nebraska during the great depression, in possibly the first use of this tactic devised by poor farmers. Across the midwest, many poor farmers were being kicked off their land by foreclosures. Local residents and radicals organised militant self defence to stop foreclosed farms from being auctioned off by bank agents and sheriffs.
