The Herrin Massacre began on this day in Herrin, Illinois when striking coal miners looted ammunition and guns from a hardware store and laid seige to their mine, filled with strikebreakers, killing twenty-three people.
The violence took place in a coal mining area during a nationwide strike by the United Mineworkers of America (UMWA). Months prior, the UMWA had called a national miners' strike. The owner of the local Illinois mine, W.J. Lester, negotiated with the union to allow his mine to remain open and for miners to go back to work, as long as no coal was shipped out.
By June, over 60,000 tons of coal had been dug up and Lester decided to break his agreement and attempted to sell the coal. Early in the morning of June 21st, a truck carrying Lester's guards and strikebreakers was ambushed near Carbondale, Illinois on its way to the mine. The union miners marched into Herrin, looted the hardware store of its firearms and ammunition, and laid seige to the mine.
The strikebreakers working in the mine surrendered to the union workers firing on them and were captured as prisoners. Despite promises of safety, they were brutally tortured and massacred by the union miners. Twenty-three workers were killed, most of whom were members of the strikebreaking group. W.J. Lester, the owner of the mine, made a significant profit from selling his mine after the massacre occurred, in order to avoid lawsuits
The nation reacted to the massacre with disgust. One newspaper editorial said "Herrin, Illinois should be ostracized. Shut off from all communication with the outside world and the people there left to soak in the blood they have spilled."President Warren Harding characterized it as a "shocking crime, barbarity, butchery, rot and madness." Others also compared the people of Herrin to the alleged behavior of German troops during World War I.
Two trials were held, the first on November 7, 1922, and the second in the winter of 1923. Only six men were indicted for the massacre, and the first two trials ended in acquittals for all the defendants. The prosecution gave up and dismissed the remaining indictments. Otis Clark was the first man to be tried on a total of 214 charges. Two years later, Clark was shot and killed by an unknown assailant.Another of the accused died in a mine accident

So two winners lets :rat-salute: our comrades @context and @FunkyStuff for getting it right.
Previous answer
Distributing among the nine young workers the 9 extra sets produced by the chief, the daily average for all ten men is 15+1 = 16 sets. Then the chief turns out 16 + 9 = 25 sets daily, and the entire brigade, (15 × 9) + 25 = 160 sets. Those who know algebra can solve the problem by composing an equation with one unknown.
How many items?
An item is made from lead blanks in a lathe shop. Each blank suffices for 1 item. Lead shavings accumulated from making 6 items can be melted and made into a blank. How many items can be made from 36 blanks?
So easy one maybe :soviet-playful: anyway have fun :soviet-heart: good luck and remember dm @Wmill the answer.

CBT copypasta ahead
u/choppa790bot is a revisionist and traitor to the revolution. They are fundamentally opposed to the central aspects of volcel ideology and the right of the vanguard to edge before cumming. Cat girls are dope af as long as it’s not that fucked up loli shit, for you see:
Note: this is not intended to promote or condone violence against any person/people based on gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity/skin color/country of origin, or religion.
To begin, let us get one thing straight: cumming is a proletariat activity. The evidence of this is plain to see, as the liberals and reactionaries in the U.S. government are always passing legislation in an attempt to end bussin. They absolutely hate it when the middle and working class buss.
For example, Joe Biden, well-known cryptofascist and class enemy, has found past success in keeping the poor working peoples of America from bussin, further proof that many politicians do not recognize the right of the workers to buss and, as people’s revolutionary Ray Parker Jr. best put it in his 1984 anthem, “bustin’ makes me feel good.” Case in point, bussin, ejaculating, creaming, nutting, and otherwise cumming is a pro-worker activity.
Now we come to the crux of the biscuit: the societal-wide malicious cock and ball torture of the world. On paper, though cock and ball torture is often painful to engage in (and uncomfortable to watch for many) can, between two consenting parties, result in mutual (see: equal) pleasure. However, such theory has never been adequately applied in reality on the wider societal level; always, the massive “tortured” class never reaches the level of pleasure and benefit from this practice as the “torturer” class does.
Admittedly, a small number of members of the “tortured” class receive a level of pleasure and therefore benefit from the system, and on occasion, occasionally someone from this benefited subclass of the “tortured” is arbitrarily promoted from “tortured” to “torturer,” free to commerce cock and ball torturing their former peers for the person’s own benefit. This instance of promotion is extremely rare, however, as the overwhelming majority of people lie on the receiving end of the cock and ball torture, and though a select few may move up within their rank of “tortured,” they will never become torturers.
At most, they will cock and ball torture other members of the tortured class, often blissfully unaware that they themselves are, too, being cock and ball tortured by a class that they replicate through their actions in an attempt to become a member of the torturer class. This is pure folly; from its inception, the cock and ball torture system was created to have a hierarchy of grossly fewer torturers than tortured, and the torturers have spent centuries honing the system that protects their privilege of cock and ball torture.
Additionally, it is worth noting that though there are often ethnic/gender trends within the torturer class that may suggest that certain ethnic group is at fault for this torture, disregard these thoughts and accusations; it is not the group’s sex, gender, religion, color of skin, ethnicity, or place of origin that is at fault for the horrendous results of centuries of cock and ball torture, but their abuse of cock and ball torture systems to selfishly lift themselves above everyone else at any cost.
So what is to be done? Some, in defeat, may say that “there is nothing left to do” and lie down to continue to be a plaything by the torturer class. There are those who will ignore the message and gladly continue to be cock and ball tortured, as it is “the only method that works” or “it’s all we have ever done.” Such rebuttals may be tempting to accept, but they are wrong, as there is another way: cumming.
Throughout history there have been several examples of the cock and ball tortured class who have chosen that other, better way, to sometimes mixed results, but never on the scale needed to free all life on this planet (and the planet itself) from the cold cock cage of CBT. Indeed, though the torturer class is but the minority, they have generally conquered, one way or another, the tortured class in times of unrest. After all, how can one person’s cum stand against centuries of cock and ball torture? While this is indeed true (and a fact that many of those aware of this system’s detriments grapple with daily), herein lies the true tool that will lead to the end of the brutal cock and ball torture system: mutual, intersectional cumming.
The cruel CBT overlords may be able to prevent a single person from shooting hot ropes and/or squirting torrential buckets, but as a global partnership, they could not, even in their wildest fantasies, prevent the people of the world from doing the same.
“Aha!” you might exclaim, “but how can such erotic collective action exist within the accepted volcel paradigms of the vanguard?” While these two orientations at first seem contradictory, a closer dialectical analysis reveals they are, in fact, critically symbiotic. The proletariat are inherently psychosexual beings and, as such, there is an undeniable engorging vigor that is generated through strict adherence to volcel doctrine outside the contexts of mass revolutionary cumming.
A consistent regiment of voluntary celibacy preserves one’s vital essence so that it contains maximum potency for driving acts of strategic orgasmic disruption to the visceral machinations of the cock and ball torturer class. Volcel theory is thus a key component to forging the ideal material conditions!
So unite! Unite regardless of race, unite regardless of ethnicity, of skin color, of country of origin, of gender, of sexuality, of religion or belief. Throw aside for now those petty squabbles you may have with like-minded people and unite! And when you do, unite not out of hatred, or out of fear, for these things will ultimately lead to defeat and destruction. Unite out of love, love for your rights, love for the rights of all, love for those in the world who have been beaten down by cock and ball torture system for centuries, love for those subsequent generations who will suffer at the hands (and feet) of this malicious system if nothing changes.
In this current age as the mouthpieces of the torturer class sob and lament the slow death of the planet at their system yet do nothing to prevent it, the clock ticks ever closer to global disaster under the CBT method. We have permitted bourgeoisie sadists to crush our cocks and our balls beneath their black leather, stiletto heels for too many years without release. No consent was ever given; nor safe word heeded.
So people of the world, for the future of every living being on the planet, rise up, and with a singular, unified wave of cum, wash away this cock and ball torture system before it disposes of you first!
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Nyanist forever! Socialism with Kemonomimi characteristics.
I'm not reading all this, can I take a riding crop to my sub's balls without being a revisionist or not?

Only if it's part of mass revolutionary cumming action according to the copypasta. Otherwise it's fine so long as they don't cum, again according to this. But you do you I guess.
Who the fuck said anything about letting them cum :pathetic:
