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.

Presidents (bribes).
Funny enough I feel like presidents and other officials would be shockingly cheap, monetarily.
Like you'd probably see a literal "Bribe to destroy most potable water in a major city to build another data center" or something and go "Wait for real? Just for like 5 million?!"
Like they're already so rich they'll sell us all out in a heartbeat to toss 2 more gold coins into their gold coin swimming pool.
I bet they get a lot further simply with promises of access to their network of other wealthy a-holes who are influential simply because they're wealthy, and wealthy because they're influential.
There's a reason Epstein's island was a common factor to so many of the wealthy international global elite.
Ugh. ๐คข
Haha, 5 million? They would do that for 50k, a fancy dinner and a first class plane ticket.
