You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?

It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

Because it’s in Venezuela.

Which is not only far away, it’s a properly Socialist nation, as opposed to the kind of Socialist people claim we’re turning into (which is more precisely called “not Socialist”)

Getting wages for housework makes no sense, or more precisely, it doesn’t make sense for an outside party to disburse them.  It’s an important job, vital even, but it’s done as part of the work done to keep the house maintained.  It deserves recognition and appreciation, but by the people in the house, not by the People or the State.

By this argument, kids should be paid  by the government for making their bed.  

It’s being spun as a triumph for women’s rights, but really it’s a social program to get assistance to people who do work that doesn’t make a salary.

But, how do we know that Clara is heterosexual? I don’t believe she ever stated her sexual orientation.

She once claimed that the first boy she ever fancied was called Rory, but quickly admitted that “Actually, she was called Nina. I was going through a phase”.

Please God don’t say ketchup or BBQ sauce.

I only put mustard on Hot Dogs. I put chips on my sandwiches.

I support this.

Is so.

The peanut butter and Baked Ruffles sandwich is one of mankind’s greatest inventions.
