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.

The US also wants it stopped.

In Australia. Our government's bargaining over the price of pharmaceuticals under the PBS has caused massive pressure by big US drug companies. A great many drugs have their prices capped in this country. Trump's boys have been jumping up and down threatening this and that for us to adopt a more lethal regime.

However, it was the same under Obama, so it's the US system at fault not just the present adminstration.
