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.

look man i’m all for math, and yep a lot of these social problems can math out pessimistically if we use our current economic model as the basis

but the reality here is shits fucked, trillionaires should exist, and eat the fucking rich for once

let’s do that for a change

I don't believe that vehemently disagreeing with the other side gives you a license to spread misinformation. It is my belief that if you have to lie to make your point, maybe you should reconsider your point. This is my belief whether it's MAGA doing the lying or their opponents.

AND just because I've pointed out that this meme is demonstrably incorrect doesn't mean that I don't agree with the sentiment. I just believe this administration and it's followers are doing plenty of factually horrible things, there's plenty of factually good points to make on that topic without having to resort to making shit up. Period.
