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.

Why does anyone think this guy is some kind of business expert? Why is he propped up by CNBC all the time (and apparently FOX) as if his opinions are at all relevant?
He got rich by using VC money to prop up a real dog of a software company, cooked the books, then sold it to Mattel in what is regarded as one of the worst business deals of all time
Now he makes all his money like Trump did, licensing his brand to sad companies and getting appearence fees. He sells mutual funds with his name on them even though he's not licensed, because he has nothing to do with them. He ran for Conservative party leadership, then dropped out because he couldn't be bothered to (or is incapable of) learning French, even though he's from Montreal.
Business people with real wealth don't spend all their time on TV or sell Cameo videos from a fake Shark Tank set, willing to endorse any shady business for a few thousand dollars.
Just ignore this guy, he's the worst.
But he looks so tender, juicy, and marbled. How can we ignore such a tasty morsel when so many have so little, and so few so much? We must waste not.
Sounds kind of like he's a cartoon of a businessman that the media pretends is real and relevant for the sake of generating engaging content.
Kevin is bad, but I really hated it when Shark Tank brought on the Vitamin Water guy. That shit is worthless. Overpriced water containing trace amounts of vitamins that probably cost $0.02/unit. If the free market worked anything like libertarians say, it would have been laughed out of the room.
He appeared as a fake testimonial on a crypto investing learning site ad and that was point I realized dude was just a washed up reality TV celebrity and literally nothing more lol.
