Work Reform
17103 readers

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.

Considering he keeps "ending" the war on Iran to play with oil prices while he buys low sells high; makes me think the price gouging followed by tariff refunds was the real goal all along.
Tariffs are just a roundabout way to implement flat tax. That's why they talk about how tariff income will replace lost tax revenue.
And in this instance, they're being used because the SC said that Trump can't impose a broad import tax.
So he conveniently enacts tariffs on our trading partners, who make up 99.4% of our imports, because they "didn't do enough to ensure slave labor wasn't used."
Yup we known this was the plan for over a year. https://www.wired.com/story/cantor-fitzgerald-trump-tariff-refunds/
Ding ding. We have a winner.
