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.

But there's only one Elon, only one Bibi. If you pay for one Joe you have to pay for them all, and that's a lot!
Anyway millions and billions are peanuts now. The Iran war is at about 1.5 trillion dollars so far, and you can guess who on the list that benefits.
The entire military industrial and state surveillance budget for the year is $1.5T. The Iran War specifically is running somewhere south of $100B... so far.
Of course, that's $100B we were told couldn't go towards public education or universalizing Medicare or domestic commuter rail or energy efficiency improvements to curb infrastructure costs or any amount of ecological mitigation from all the Drill Drill Drill we've been doing.
Instead, it's given us a global supply chain crisis and a new asset bubble and a bunch of banged up air bases and naval vessels. And, of course, a bunch of dead little school girls. Overall, one might argue this is a net negative for everyone involved. But you'd never know it the way the pundit class chatters on.
