Bread and roses (somew)

The episode’s title is a nod to the 1912 textile mill’s strike of bread and roses, where women unite need bread, also known as money, also known as roses, also known as art and beauty. During times of poor working conditions, the same name strike and poem/song are weeping on a rally with decent wages and better conditions. This is what your podcast producer Renee remembers when you put these segments together. While we are not discussing the labor movement in the early 20th century today, we are discussing finance, art, and power.
