Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't.

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.

Ok so what happens when you put food that close to going off onto a ship for a few weeks? You're just shipping rotten food to people.
The problems of logistics isn't "a choice" it's a very real thing.
Since the advent of GMO, starvation ls largely about political instability and conflicts. It's hard to get food to warzones. Something to think about before promoting violence as a solution to a problem.
Why is the food going on a ship?? Im sure there's malnourished people locally
Not like this problem is unique to US and other countries have solved it 50 years ago.
To be fair, lots of stores donate to local food banks. Ask me how I know.
Yeah famine in Gaza isn't because of economic forces it's because of Israel deliberately starving them. There has been enough humanitarian aid available to feed the starving for decades at this point, the sticking point is people with guns getting in the way.
Do you think people in Africa starve because some evil capitalists decide they want people in Africa to starve? Food can't get to people when there's a lot of people with guns shooting at each other.
When people hate, they will only care about doing violence against their enemies and not care about it causing people to starve. Would you call upon Hamas to put down their weapons to prevent people from starving? If not, that's choosing to let people starve.
