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.

MODERATORS
Have you heard of a federal reserve? Yes your bank doesn't have your money, but someone does. Your money someone else has is insured by the federal reserve so bank runs don't happen. You're talking about an economy that existed 100 years ago.
You clearly didn't know how money works
You are so very wrong. The Fed does NOT have the cash, nobody does.
It exists only in the banking system itself with no tangible assets to back the majority up, we don't have the actual cash to cover even 10% of deposits.
Where did you hear "the fed has the money"? Please share how the Fed "has the money" (or anybody else).
The "insurance" will collapse, just as the banks
You're talking about an economy that does not exist. The FED does not have the cash.
Also, please note the more cash that they do print, the less the dollar is worth.... this is called "inflation".
