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.

Maybe by extension it's time.
Having had kids I've really learned that I need time to just fritter away. Down time. Not for chores or for date night or for my hobbies or for tv.
Just time to do nohing important and watch the day while away.
Sadly I need a lot of this time. Or maybe I'm just running a huge deficit so it seems like I need a lot.
To quote the goblins from World of Warcraft, "time is money, friend!"
It always was.
Money is how we convert human work into convenience. It's the universal bartering good.
If I don't want to do something, I exchange time spent doing something else for it. This also lets me specialize in doing a single thing, which is how we progressed as a society.
