  1. Vol 1 Ep 16 - Abraham Lincoln

    Lincoln entered the White House as America was falling apart. Secession had begun, civil war approached and slavery divided the nation. Could he preserve the Union and guide America through its greatest crisis?

  7. A quotation (probably not) from Abraham Lincoln

    I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is, truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are.

  8. “Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.”*…

    Today is, of course, Labor Day, a recognition of the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements in the U. S. that dates from the latter 19th century. Livia Gershon reminds us that, earlier that century, labor had an important champion…

    Today, the idea that the value of all commodities comes from the labor power used to produce them is closely associated with Karl Marx. But Marx was far from the only thinker in the mid-nineteenth century to believe this. Literature scholar Owen Cantrell looks at another: Abraham Lincoln [and here].

    In 1847, Lincoln wrote that goods rightfully “belong to those whose labour has produced them,” and any good government should ensure that workers receive the entire product of their labor “or as nearly as possible.”

    However, unlike Marx, Lincoln saw no problem with the private ownership of property, or even of some people becoming rich. Cantrell argues that his view was the product of his own background in rural middle America. As a young man, Lincoln’s father had worked odd jobs in Kentucky, sometimes alongside enslaved laborers. This became increasingly difficult as the growing use of enslavement crowded out free workers. But he was eventually able to help his community with his carpentry skills and establish a homestead in Indiana. There, Lincoln grew up doing manual labor on the homestead and at neighboring farms.

    In 1861, the newly elected president warned that slavery threatened a system of free labor in which “the prudent, penniless beginner in the world, labors for wages for awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself; then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him.”

    Cantrell writes that Lincoln believed that both human advancement and political stability for the American democratic republic depended on workers’ dignity and ability to improve their conditions. He envisioned the Civil War as a fight between a slave economy that left workers powerless and a kind of capitalism in which they could use the cash economy to advance, improve production techniques, and create better material conditions for the country as a whole.

    Marx had a very different view of the capitalist system, seeing wage work as the mark of an oppressed class making up the majority of industrial nations’ populations. But, like Lincoln, he saw the Civil War as an opportunity to secure better lives for all workers. When Lincoln was reelected in 1864, Marx—on behalf of the First International—wrote to him with hopes that the “American Antislavery War” would essentially function as a revolution bringing the working class to power.

    In the end, the post-Civil War era did bring a new labor system, though not one for which either Marx or Lincoln had hoped. It saw the rise of large corporate employers and the consignment of an increasing part of the workforce to lifelong wage work—thanks in significant part to Lincoln’s Republican Party choosing to ally itself with the corporations.

    “If he had witnessed the capitalist excesses of the Gilded Age, it would have proved the lie to his conception of capital and labor in the starkest possible way,” Cantrell writes…

    Abraham Lincoln was no Marxist, but his ideas resonated—albeit with a rural American flavor: “Abraham Lincoln’s Labor Theory of Value,” from @liviagershon.bsky.social in @jstordaily.bsky.social.

    If Lincoln would have been appalled at the Gilded Age, what might he think of what’s transpiring now? “How Did Trump Do on His Labor Day Report Card?” (“Spoiler alert: He flunked…” From @timothynoah.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com.)

    As we take the day off, we might recall that it was on this date in 1822 that a prisoner-powered treadmill for grinding corn began operation at the Bellevue County Penitentiary in New York City, located where 26th Street meets the East River. Up to 16 prisoners at a time walked on two paddle-wheel like treadmills, grinding about 50 bushells of corn per day.

  9. Brent Molnar describes the horrible living conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln.

    One look at the aircraft carrier and its accompanying ships reveals how the USA has become an emperor without clothes.

    The ships look like the inland, many cities and public transport of the USA: a sore for the eyes and far behind on infrastructure.

    The sailors live like many veterans in the USA: unsanitary accommodations and only the bare minimum of food.

  14. The non-Bee group in long-term stasis are known as "Man" by Bee and coded as "9s" while they code themselves as "10s"

    This is punned to "10" issued at a "beauty pageant" and is therefore associated with #DonaldTrump #CharlesII #AbrahamLincoln male soul of #LambdaScorpii aka #Shaula the "Black Hole" star of #Jesus #StephenHawking aka "Golden Gate" but this is "mirrored" and hence becomes the "box" or "Silver Gate" (vagina) hence the "01" joke (people who "rowed" are "winners" and claim to be 7s)

    “Key Takeaways;

    - Iranian strikes heavily damaged the US naval base in #Bahrain, forcing the #Navy to shift a major #logistics operation thousands of miles away to #DiegoGarcia.

    -The USS #AbrahamLincoln has been at sea for nearly nine months without a liberty port, amid reported supply shortages and concerns about crew mental health.

    - Despite mounting logistical pressures, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insist the US can sustain its naval operations indefinitely.”

  19. Wish granted! The #USSGeorgeWashington is now replacing the #AbrahamLincoln, but that's just kicking the can down the road, the Marine vessel #USSBoxer is already complaining of supply shortages as are the other vessels in the area with no bases for resupply...

  20. The Roaring Twenties

    There are decades that become famous for what happened during them.And there are decades that become famous for what people later decided they had meant. The 1920s belong to the second category.We know how the story ends. In October 1929, the American stock market collapsed. The Great Depression followed. The prosperity of the decade gave way to unemployment, bank failures, political crisis, and social hardship. The New Deal transformed the relationship between the federal government and the […]
