Huge numbers in Ohio and other states are one big expense away from poverty • Ohio Capital Journal Whether you call it "affordability" or "inequality," economic insecurity is emerging as a top issue in this year's midterm election.

Similar to my own work on #affectivePolarisation, @bpalier.bsky.social comments on how the producers are actually doing OK economically, but they feel their horizons have shrunk, and complain there is nothing at the end of the month.

It seems to me this #precarity may also come from upselling… 3/3

Decline in remote jobs risks shutting disabled people out of work, study finds Research project warns fall in homeworking roles could undermine efforts to reduce unemployment

I'm still thinking about this reporting, which suggests that the number of disabled and unemployed people in the UK increased by MORE THAN ONE-HUNDRED THOUSAND (25%!) in a year.

That is astronomical.

@key-bw.bsky.social Padsplit is out to “disrupt” renting. Property owners “host” individual bedrooms. “Members” sign up to rent short term week to week or month to month rooms with a ton of rules & no tenant protections. “Members” aren’t even allowed to see the place before to “respect home owners privacy”
