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.

Economics is the social control mechanism that filled the void vacated by religion after the enlightenment. A bunch of accounting rules cherry picked by the ruling class, protected from scrutiny, arbitrarily and inconsistently imposed on the masses, enforced by threat of violence.
Finance is its mythology. Banks are its cathedrals. Financial institutions its churches. Economists its clergy. GDP its God.
If religion is the opium of the masses, economics is their fentanyl.
