Well spotted. The economic dependence of the patriarchal family is well shown.
A friend did mention this destruction of whine to stabilize the prices and I just laughed a bit, nodded and said "Steinbeck". He was utterly confused and I had to remind myself a moment that this meme and quote from a fantastic work is not as much in popular conscious as is "You are a wizard harry".
Hopefully they don't mix up the letters and showed the kids the FBI letter pressuring MLK into suicide.
I agree with the FBI though: Learn all you can about communism!
It got a trove of fun quips that hit capitalism more than communism. It is all projection.
Of course most parents in capitalism working have trouble seeing their kids, too. With the added benefit of not having enough money for them to go to school properly. However the comic panel is even more fitting for UK boarding schools:
Most (UK) schools that offer boarding have three distinct models: Full boarding (kids are at the boarding school i.e. Eton the whole year, except for potentially the holidays), Weekly boarding (kids can be at home over the weekend), Flexi-boarding (kids can be at home up to 7 times a week, but for plays and rehearsals and during exam period they stay in school)

Lol, a working class family is forced to work to not lose their home, oh that communism!

In October 2008, responding to a dramatic increase in such evictions since 2006, Tom Dart, the elected Sheriff of Cook County, Illinois, decided to take a stand on the issue. He criticized mortgage companies for failing to fulfill their obligation to identify renters in foreclosed properties, and announced that he was suspending all foreclosure evictions immediately. The Illinois Banker's Association accused Dart of engaging in "vigilantism".[32]
I read this book about a future in which necromancers ruled the Earth, really feels more and more like a factual description.
And yet pretty much everyone I became platonic with I develop a crush on / slightly fall for if they remain cool.
Epstein isn't dead, he is actually Ron DeSantis in disguise.
This is sad for the people affected, but it is also very funny when high tech fails, especially when the bus drivers themselves do likely know the routes and all that already.
It is also a situation in which when you don't have them you can feel smart since you don't have to find justification for what you do.
