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.

Let's explore this drone strike crap the Republicans sold and everyone bought.
The war was on going before he was elected.
drone tech advanced and managed to alter how US operated. Few people remember the amount of casualties early in Iraq/Afghanistan. Drone bombing replaced door to door raids that resulted in more soldiers dying.
calling the drone strikes illegal is roughly silly. Congress supported their use in military activity, that makes it legal. Failing to hit the right target or hitting the wrong target doesn't make it illegal, as evil as that sounds. The alternative before targeted drone strikes was carpet bombing.
Comparatively Obama ran the war in the middle east better than any president has handled a conflict in generations there's literally no arguing that. Should we have been there? Could he have pulled out of the war? Should strategy have been different to reduce innocent casualties? Those are questions you can ask but stating blindly how drone strikes were illegal and making him out to a warmonger is genuinely just not true.
Counter point on either end of Obama, Bush had I think it was 3,000 soldiera die under his command? Trump removed the rule requiring drone strikes to be public records and also has waged several completely illegal wars.
Obama hate is fuckin silly.
Didnt read, dont care about how you justify supporting imperialist garbage
"La la la, I can't hear you!"
You're a child.
I'll take "child" over "war criminal apologist" any day
You're taking ignorance over any of it.
Imagine telling someone a truth and they intentionally become so obtuse.
In my country we call that a Republican. They dislike knowledge and when faced with information that affects their world view, they reject it outright.
I don't really care what you do in your country.
Apparently you do cause you're talking about it
...I'm not, actually. Unless you mean that "what you do in your country" is apologize for war criminals? If so, true if you're from Germany lmao
