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.

*downwards. They're shitty people, let's stop glorifying them, which is supported by "trickle-down economics" that went right into their hands so to them, it worked.
We need stakeholder primacy over shareholder primacy! Stakeholder Socialism

The status quo does not just enrich the rich. It also allows its privileged to rape children without consequences.

the point is for billionaires to hoard wealth. literally capitalism.
Wow. Someone suddenly gets it.
Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Its power is proportional to the belief it commands.
Finance is an arbitrary subset of mathematics, cherry picked by the owning class, protected from scrutiny, and applied as their supporting mythology.
It’s entirely imaginary, which means alternatives are only ever a conjuring away. We did it after the Enlightenment, we can do it again.

Every one driving the train has a little goblin inside, jumping up and down on the table shreeking “I WANT MORE MONEY!!!!!”
Isnt china mostly destroying the biosphere and failing to meet basic needs? Rural china is still cooked and people in the city are working 80hr weeks living in a tiny box.
The western world meets the basic needs of 99+% of the population and has a lot more environmental protection.
I'd argue the USA and China are both Auth Cap, but coming from different directions. We need Stakeholder Socialism that focuses on aligning ownership and control of the economic firms into the hands of those directly impacted by their ecological and economic impacts. A coöp commonwealth is a good example.

The point is to provide more billions to billionaires.
I work at a DMV call center. People call me with vehicle registration or driver's license problems and I help them out. AI is supposed to replace me so the state bought an AI voice recognition system. It can transcribe calls but cannot do anything with the information so a new part of my job is responding to what the AI interprets and then use AI canned responses to reply to the caller via email so I can train the AI.
Fascinating. I recently had to replace an expired license. They said I could renew it online, but that didn't work. They said I could make an appointment online, but that didn't work either. I called in and couldn't get in touch with anyone real. So I finally just went to the DMV and got my license renewed in person. Mentioned all this stuff to the guy behind the counter and he's like "yeah... they're having a lot of problems with the computer systems..." and now after reading your comment I'm like. Oh duh. Of course. They're using AI. No wonder none of this shit works!
🤢😱😭
To allow an extremely small percentage of people live like royalty.
Duh.
The old system did that just fine with actual royalty though.

When a host is infested by multiple parasites, the parasite which extracts the most from the host before the host dies has the greatest chance of survival.
The point is to extract as much wealth as possible so they can survive in bunkers after they've ruined our planet's ability to support life our way of life as we know it.

This right here is the answer. Being a billionaire is disease. They will never have enough power or money they are mentally ill and sick psychopaths that need to be put down. They are not able to reformed.

Don't you know? The world is just one big resort for the Epstein class and we are the staff
There's the Hunter and then the hunted. The predator and the prey. Most people in the world are prey. You throw out one cycle of predator and then the prey takes over they eventually become the predator. I think it's a something fundamentally embedded in the life cycle of creatures. I don't like being prey but I'm not interested in being a predator. So now what?
Many adult prey animals have developed formidable defenses against predators: the horse a powerful kick, the bull its horns, the possum its acting. So I guess your options are either play dead or learn to shoot.
Hey, are you denying me the opportunity to work very hard every day so one day I may become a billionaire?
