Belladonna & Mardock | Egalitarian Community Living
Daily Routine and the Economics of Shared Meals
Members at Acorn follow a 42-hour weekly labor quota that includes domestic tasks like cooking and cleaning common spaces. Marduk and Belladonna discuss the efficiency of communal cooking, noting they can feed 30 to 50 people on less than $1,200 a year by reducing waste and growing their own vegetables. The lack of a commute and the absence of television allows for more time dedicated to hobbies, conversation, and community management.
