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.

23-30% of people are perpetually unsure of everything lol
Those are people who don't wanna answer. Tbh if some rando was asking which political view I had, I would also not share it.
Especially when you get asked in a way that makes it clear that they have an agenda.
Like to ask say, "Do you support what the Mayor is doing with raising taxes on rich residents" they might ask "Would you be ok with having your taxes raised?"
Then report it in a reframed way later.
Polls are bull shit no matter what they say.
Hell in the first term I got a Trump poll and "How do you think the president is doing" disn't even have negatice options, just degrees of Good, Great, Excelent etc.
If I was approached in the NYC street by someone asking me how I felt about politics, I would not take the risk that they have my name and face already and want to put me in a oligarch's database.
"No comment.
And here, take my wallet and phone."
Exactly
Maybe. I don't know about that.
;-)
I don't know about that
undecided voters as well.
Or they're in the "nothing ever happens" camp.
About 35% of the unfavorable are the lost ones that vote R because that's what they've always done, what their church tells them, and what their one or two propaganda channels tell them. And the other 10% of those are probably Wall Street and adjacent. The ones that actually do have things to lose, since they're the ones stealing it from the rest.
It's a fair position, as far as they are concerned, they haven't seen it in action, at least not for very long. So they are waiting to see if it pans out as promised.
