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 stock market is certainly part of the problem but it’s not everything.

Capitalism in its entirety is the issue. Capitalism is based on infinite growth which is unsustainable and impossible.

The stock market is just a tool to extract wealth from the populace. Without the stock market it would still happen but with less efficiency.

You have the same problems with or without stocks.
