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.

90% of his ner worth is in 300 p/e stocks.
The money doesn't exist. It's all speculation. The second you tried to cash those stocks the value would plumit 90% overnight, and nothing good would be able to be bought with the cash after that.
And yet, is he treated by other gigantically rich people and institutions as if this is true?
You're arguing the pedantic point, something like "he doesn't really have that many dollars, you said dollars!" while (I guess deliberately ignoring?) the OBVIOUS, clear way him and others like him wield influence and power.
Everyone who makes him actually powerful, by lending to him and facilitating it all (by hoping to profit along the way), understands his net worth better than you do. Kinda de facto, by being in his spheres in the first place.
What is it you think you're adding here?
It’s wild how the money that doesn’t exist buys yachts but not school supplies
