It’s everywhere. Talking to a hvac guy at a local university. In thirty years his hourly has gone up $7. The Chancellor’s compensation has gone from just over a quarter to just over a million dollars.

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.

Clinton signed the legislation…
Ha oh yeah Trump did it, it's the "Trump Agenda".
(this has been the case since the 1970s, it's the R&D agenda)
"Chief Executive Officer" should be the title of the guy driving the guillotine.
Chief Execution Officer?
But then, we might have to send them through?
I think the present situation will give Americans an unhealthy dose of what it is to live under tyranny, and that might whip us into enough of a fervor to actually overhaul the US system.
But if not, it will show the rest of the developed world what they can expect since the owner class can buy out their elections and control their governments, and financialize their budgets until their econonies collapse as well.
And the sheep keep on voting for the wolves
In America, both parties are wolves. Just one bothers, barely, to pretend to be sheep. The other convinces the sheep that wolves are actually good.
Also
Also, also
One is a wolf and one is a sheep with a tendency to fall for the sheep disguised wolves.
The sheep can be influenced and change its beaviour. The wolf is a wolf.
The sheep disguised one can be changed, yes. It gets it's power by being more appealing than the other guy. That power can be used to change leadership into a more representative one.
But until it is, it's still an antagonist. To be clear, I don't think democrats and republicans are the same. But democrats marching towards the "center" isn't just bad strategy, it's leadership's preferred shift for the Overton window. It's why they always fight against the left tooth-and-nail, but easily slide to the right to capture the "no one that will vote for them" over there.
Having only 2 parties is crazy..
I have one vote -- excluding any voter suppression/gerrymandering, which means it's binary. If I had ranked-choice voting, we can have a deeper conversation/candidates. But then, dummies would get angry in their confusion.
I think the best democracy is liquid democracy. Proove me wrong.

Bank comes to them. Not the other way.
I thought it was an offshore Cayman Islands account?
