A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

There's a natural price cap in place for basic needs like this because of their relationship to labor.

We passed that cap years ago. People have been using pay over time credit to buy groceries since the pandemic.

In any other society the riots would have started before that. But USians are domesticated enough that I genuinely believe most of us will starve and die before we lift a hand in self defense.
