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.

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?
