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.

I'm going to have to agree with the third one down. The smartest way to get the rich to help society isn't to tax them. It's not. Honestly.
No, it's guillotines. Guillotines are the smartest way to get them to help.
Think about it. If we were to get bozos, furckerberg, theil, and muskyboy in a big stadium then guillotined them all that would definitely make things better instantly. However if we then said, "Hey, all you other billionaires, you've got a year to actually do something decent... or we will be coming for you", then the guillotining would be a gift that keeps on giving.
(Hell, I'll even volunteer to pull the guillotine levers so no one else has to deal with that guilt)
I would pay 200 to pull one lever
I doubt you'd run out of volunteers for that lever tbh
Lots of people with dead relatives due to the healthcare situation, food prices and such
