You’re using a definition from a random dictionary. This is neither the original meaning of the term nor the one Marxists use. The version you looked up is a “new” bastardization of the original term.
The bourgeois class under marxism is the class that makes money by owning capital through the labor of others. Think about people who own businesses or have large investments. They don’t make all that money themselves, they make it from people who work in facilities they own.
There is something called petite bourgeois that could be called middle class. These are small business owners who both work their own business but also have employees they profit from. Marxists care about how you make money, not how much.
Glad you learned something. Normally this is where I get told that the marxist version of the term is wrong or dumb even though it’s closer to the original meaning than the modern definition.
I am sure the authors of Merriam Webster don’t mean anything harmful. Dictionaries update their definitions based on how they see the term being used, and many modern people don’t respect the original meaning of the term. In political circles we still use the original meaning. You can see why this causes confusion.
Considering I almost never eat breakfast in the first place, not eating breakfast would not be a major change in my life at all. Hell, it’s not even a financial problem causing me to skip breakfast. It’s just that I don’t like it.
I can’t read the original article but in the context I’m getting (cpi report) the title is either sarcastic or incredibly stupid.
The comunist spin is cringy. Please stop.
In a period where the biggest constant public health threat is obesity and food is wasted by millions of tons each year I somehow stubbornly don’t think that the problem with having what to eat is a real.
Just get chickens. They produce a ton of eggs and manure for gardening. Outside of the coop they’ve got to be the cheapest, most worthwhile investment of my adult life. 3 eggs for breakfast everyday and I’m still swimming in them.
They are the happiest chickens in the world. They get fresh vegetable scraps and free range during the day. They are locked up at night for their protection. I’m not stealing their eggs any more than they are stealing my feed.
Steal their eggs? What do you belive the hens so with unfertilized eggs? Nothing. It’s just waste to them, like when you menstruate.
And common people who hold hens have them free-range, and only “lock them up” at night to protect them from predators. They will live a very happy and caring life.
Stop being ignorant and naive. You’re not helping your vegan cause by spewing uneducated comments like these.
Seems ridiculous but that article was written dozens of times during the pandemic except instead of solving the housing crisis it was solving the corporate real estate crisis… of not making unlimited money for nothing.
