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.

Healthcare has also been bleeding. My local news has run multiple stories over the past few months of massive hospital layoffs. No more Medicaid revenue means no ability to pay staff that provide those services.
The city next to mine had its entire hospital network shut down, just because some vulture capitalists saw that the price was less than the value of the real estate it owned. They bought the hospital network, spun off the real estate as a separate venture that then rented the properties to the hospitals, which bankrupted the hospitals leading to their closure.
This is why the corporate world, billionaires++, and their lackey governments hate Cuba, Venezuela and any other sovereign nation that tries to better provide for all their people. That and the resources for which they demand fair recompense, or refuse to sell if needed at home.
Adding to this, rural hospitals are closing. Healthcare is hemorrhaging too.
Can't find jobs to get paid and afford/qualify for healthcare which pays for health providers and medical practitioners.
Truly the Upside-Down States of Amerikkka.
