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.

probably has more to do with people not wanting to see 'lessers' get ahead--those who put in less effort and minorities, etc.
you can't fight this with memes. it's something that's fundamental to american programming and not everyone sits on the internet all day reading this shit.
look at the underlying messages in films, tv shows and popular media, and it's the same ambition and personal responsibility driven nonsense that has always been there. it's always putting out the message that only the most deserving should succeed.
the conversation about wokeness and representation is just a distraction.
