A tweet with an image of a book. The tweet is by rohan talbot (@rohanTalbot). The tweet says "No economist will ever come up with a better explanation of why being poor is so expensive than Terry Pratchett. Such a great quote" The attached image is of a book and says "Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.  But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was captain samuel vines 'boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness"

A screenshot of a social media post saying "People post that screenshot of the study saying that cops have difficulty infiltrating anarchist groups because there’s too much reading, but another one of my favorite parts is “We don’t know how to cut their funding because it’s just a bunch of anonymous poor people.". There is then a screenshot of the study saying "Financing. Given anarchists' opposition to capitalism and enterprise the question of they fund their operations is intriguing. Anarchists typically lead a simple and inexpensive lifestyle. Many are vegetarian or vegan and are accustomed to communal life where food and other resources are shared. On a daily basis most anarchists have jobs (typically low paying service jobs). They often travel by shared rides in cars, but many have become proficient at hopping trains to travel long distances. A series of projects throughout the country known as "food not bombs" often provide collective food for the anarchist communist (the food is not necessarily only consumed by anarchists) therefore it does not require much money to facilitate subsistence and travel. Many of the higher level." it then cuts off there.
