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.

Boycott? Never even entered that shitshow ๐
I have never went into a starbucks but there are those little shops in other stores and that coffee smells bad. Like a desert truck stop where the coffee machine is stained and the pots have a thick black buildup of tar.
Never appealed to me, I rarely eat or drink outside. But if I WANTED to, I'd still avoid big stupid chains and would go to the tiny shops or indeed a truck stop.
My first date with now-wifey, she invited me to a hotdog at gas-station. We both drown in money but this was a special moment for 2 x 2 moneyz. How could a fancy starbucks latte frappe suckmynut beat this ๐
I did once. For a tee. 4 โฌ. The tea bag placed next to the paper cup of hot water. Very aromatic though.
Never saw the appeal. I buy tea by the kilogram and have hundreds of liters from it. If I wanted tea outside, I'd fill a can and take it with me.
Cheapskate? Yes.
Cheapskate? No, reasonable. That was a one time mistake. I am now vaccinated.
Hehe. To each his own. If I'd own Starbucks I would probably be happy about these masses of people willing to spend so much for so little .
