Quote

"Property" means dominion over things and the denial to others of the use of those things.... It is the private dominion over things that condemns millions of people to be mere nonentities, living corpses without originality or power of initiative, human machines of flesh and blood, who pile up mountains of wealth for others and pay for it with a gray, dull and wretched existence for themselves. I believe that there can be no real wealth, social wealth, so long as it rests on human lives — young lives, old lives and lives in the making.

Emma Goldman, "What I Believe", New York World, 19 July 1908

:D on average how many cents a day did newsies or working class kids make do we know?

ooooooooo okay

in short- no one actually knows for certain, and everyone’s just spitballing a little bit.

but! we can normally find an average within these numbers.

typically, people will say that a newsie could make 15-35 cents on a good day. with some really ambitious unverifiable sources, they’ll go as high as 50 cents. I’d say 35 and below is probably closer to what we’re actually looking at here.

again, though, that range is on a good day. on an average day, I’d guess 8-15 cents a day is looking at realistic sales. on a bad day, I’d wager 0-12 cents.

‘but emme, they sold almost every day, all day! they had to be better at making money than that-‘

you’re right, they were better at making money. but so was the other newsie across the street. and the one on the corner. and the ones on the streets before and after. there was too many of them selling the exact same thing to make a decent profit. and you have to consider inflation. people aren’t just throwing pennies around like they do now. ten pennies is dinner.

so- official answer- I’d go with 8-15 cents a day.

The House of Herbert Bayard Swope

January 5 was the birthday of newspaperman Herbert Bayard Swope (1882-1958). You’d be correct in noticing that it’s unusual for us to give attention to a straight news journalist on this blog. We’ve gotten close to that but invariably those we’ve written about also wrote theatre criticism, or plays, or screenplays, or such like. For a couple of examples, Richard Harding Davis also wrote playlets…

The dollar collapse is happening NOW!"

The Storm is coming sooner than expected. All financial systems controlled by the corrupt government will collapse.

This crash will be felt on a global level, and many currencies, especially the USD, will be worthless.

Fiat accounts, savings and retirement accounts, mortgage, e.t.c will crash down and wipe off from the system once this event happens, Quantum Financial System is the savior.!!!

Convert every money in your possession to digital gold & silver backed coins and move them into the QFS ledger for safety . There will be a Global Reset. All banks and fiat exchanges will be closed, and there will be a lot of uncertainty & confusion. Cash will be worthless and outdated, and all bank accounts will be closed and crash to zero .

All cabal public banks will be confiscated, and foreclosures will be frozen, as will all public and private dept(mortgage,loans, credit, and debit cards).

This is how the NYT is reporting on Israel bombing the car of humanitarian workers, they make it seem like Gazans did it. This is way beyond parody, this is genocide abetment.

There can be no freedom in the large sense of the word, no harmonious development, so long as mercenary and commercial considerations play an important part in the determination of personal conduct.

Pulitzer, to start with

you know, I feel like this was one of those moments where you side-eyed me and was like, “really, emme? really? you’ve got nothing? nothing at all?” until I admitted that I did, in fact, have headcanons for him. honestly, if that passive-aggressive-ness ain’t friendship, I don’t know what is. #friendshipislowkeybullyingandimhereforit #loveyousparkedblaze

so joseph pulitzer was obviously a real person. he was originally from hungary, and moved to the united states at age 17 as a recruit for the american civil war (“I was fighting in a WAR”). his family was wealthy, and his education consisted of mostly private tutors. when he immigrated, eventually ending up in st. louis, he brought none of that wealth, and didn’t speak even the smallest bit of english. he worked odd jobs, waited tables, and in his free time, studied. legend has it that while he was studying, he began making commentary about a nearby game of chess under his breath in german. unfortunately, the players spoke german. more fortunately, they took note of his intelligence, and offered him a job at a somewhat-prominent german daily newspaper. he accepted.

four years later, joseph pulitzer had become a force to be reckoned with. he had successfully made a name for himself in the journalistic world, and bought his first newspaper in st. louis at 25. five years after that, he ventured to new york in search of a doctor for his health later than year, and ended up negotiating a deal for the new york world, which wasn’t doing well at the time. he was thirty. over the next decade, the world’s circulation grew to exceedingly great heights until it was the largest circulating paper in all of the united states.

of course, these are just the highlights of his journalist career. I won’t go into detail about his political one.

(…yeah. this man wasn’t someone you messed with. I have no idea why the newsies thought taking on him was a good idea, let alone how they won.)

and now for the fun stufffffffffff

he was the father of seven, yet katherine is the only kid mentioned in newsies??? and only the stage production??? my best guess about this is because she died at two, and so there’s not really much you could “get wrong” or offend people with (also, it reminds me of the using of philip and theodosia in hamilton, but that’s entirely besides the point). either way, what I’m saying the purpose of this was, regardless of the truth, is that THIS katherine also got sick young, but instead of passing away, she slowly got better through a very touch-and-go childhood. therefore, he’s ridiculously protective of her because that’s his daughter, dammit, and he’s not going to lose her now.

something that I always noticed in livesies was how…american he was??? like, he brought up american football. I don’t know what’s more american than that.

he just reminded me of every midwestern dad I’ve ever met, and I think that was somewhat intentional, so I’m rolling with it. I’m guessing the real joseph pulitzer was like this, too, so we can pretend it’s based in historical evidence.

he goes out of his way to not act like an immigrant. this is pretty common, considering stereotypes, prejudice, and racism, but pulitzer was jewish, and very obviously so. this made his life that much more difficult, and it probably would have been easier to pretend that english was his first language and that he was as patriotic as they come. so he didn’t flaunt that he was an immigrant as well as a veteran, politician, and businessman.

he would have never let his daughter become a journalist. or associate with someone like jack at all. just saying.

I love how cutthroat they made him in the musical. realistically, he didn’t fight the newsies THAT much, but it’s really funny to me that this great business mogul was waging petty wars against literal children.

he feels like he could be a surburban dad, flipping burgers and wearing a kiss the cook apron while his seven children run around in the backyard with a dog. I have no idea why. (someone draw that fanart for me PLEASE)

also, he named katherine after his wife, kate.
