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.

How much do you need you sick ass parasite???
What he needs is to be in prison.
Enough to fill the black void in his soul.
He doesn't need it; but enough is never enough
Always remember, folks...this kind of income inequality is a choice.
We keep choosing to let it happen. I don't understand people and the billionaire worship.
“A Bug’s Life” was a pretty good movie.
Haven't we already established that the middle class has joined the working class? There's only two now. Us and them.
The use of the term "middle class" as "not poor" is relatively recent, and likely as a result of the efforts to divide the working class.
The working class is anyone who relies on wages for their survival. Middle class has meant several things, including the new and powerful class that led the French Revolution (middle between the aristocracy and peasants). In Marxism it refers to small business owners who are still beholden to large business owners, professionals (like, professions: doctor, lawyer, engineer) or middle managers. They either profit from the wage earners or earn a salary to oversee them.
Some people do not agree with the inclusion of middle management or professionals because they still depend on their wages (salary) to survive.
The idea that a unionized auto worked would be called middle class is silly, according to these older definitions.
In the UK we use middle class to mean something much closer to its Marxist definition. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, managers, and small business owners would generally be considered middle class (basically if you can afford to shop at M&S or Waitrose). The term middle class in the UK also can encompass people who should be included in the term upper/ruling class, such as CEOs, but due to our weird historic class system in the UK I think there is a higher threshold for being considered upper class here.
I kind of see it from the other direction, the US and canada can only exist if the serfs (I'm being hyperbolic no need to correct me) don't believe they are serfs.
The historical middle class left the UK to set up a new aristocracy and need compliance, so the.american dream is built to make class a meritocracy.
Petite-bourgeoisie was a word before middle class
Oh, don't they both come from the era of the French Revolution?
Agree that bourgeoise is older than that.
Thank GOD we took Taxpayer funds AWAY from Teachers so we can Give it to the ONE Man SPYING ON YOU SO ICE CAN MURDER YOUR CHILDREN instead! THIS is how we Make America Great!
-LITERALLY Every Republican you Know!
No every Republican i know is more like:
Durrrrrrr have you seen commercial with dog? Black people run the Walmarts that’s why it’s bad hurrrrr
There is this very small number of these tech bros and CEOs who at least try to appear “normal” and “relatable” with various levels of success. This guy though is literally begging for somebody to meet him in a dark alley with a baseball bat.
Which tech bros attempt to appear normal? Lol
Well, there are a whole lot of quiet ones. Normal? No.
What he fails to mention, however, is that the product of the company of which he is CEO is by no means intended to protect a country’s citizens from harm, but rather to prevent them from defending themselves against unscrupulous, anti-social monsters like him.
I predict his ass will find out how well people eat cake once they have nothing to lose.
What's ironic is that he's making a sales pitch for society outlawing his job. He's telling us that he's not worthy of being a member of our society as clearly as he can, but he doesn't even realize it.
Because look if AI is going to make everyone's life go to hell then all we need to do is change our governments and change the laws and get rid of those evil pieces of s*** who destroyed our society. In the end it really is that simple. Which doesn't make it easy.
But actually it's all a bubble so it's not going to happen anyway.
Absolute psycho who has no business doing anything at all. Fuck you Karp.
What a freaky fish guy.
In the future billionaires shouldn't exist. Current billionaires shouldn't be allowed to exist.
He's "sounding the alarm," but not offering to do anything about it. Just sounds like someone who is having the earliest revelation that he doesn't want to become dinner.
And he'll do anything to fix the situation, except stop getting richer. That's non negotiable.
"bummer guys, it really is terrible, right? 🤷🏼♂️"
I mean… he’s not wrong… just an asshole.
That was his and all the other surveillance state bros' plan.
This tracks. I fish and a Karp is a bottom feeder.
These guys see a bad economy as desirable. They want 10% unemployment and 0% interest rates.
Unless he dies. Then his money isn't worth a damn, at least to him
Won’t someone please think of and defend the innocent billionaire?
As long as I have enough money to buy ammo, it'll all work itself out in the end.
Taika Waititi should play the next Bond villain.
There 4.000.000.000.000 people to Mutch on this planet , now choose ?
