Work Reform

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.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I feel like in the olden days, when stuff like this happened people would form up into a miltia shaped mob, march down to the rich person's house, and deal with the problem.
That happens today, too. Just not in the US lol
They didn't have cameras everywhere back then.
I would do that but I cant afford to get to where the rich people live, it’s days of travel away cuz flying is a no-go for me these days.
In the olden days that was not the case, and money/goods couldn't travel that far either. You could torch the owner's house cuz it was in town. You knew where they lived. It was accessible.
That's the best part: Global warming will eventually ix-nay the whole flying thing, and then the wealthy will have to outrun the poors.
That's why they have bunkers in NZ. I just hope it becomes apparent to their security teams that they do not contribute anything of value-- Assuming it happens before their fantasy of autonomous security.
Pay for me to get there and I'm there, after you.
