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 want a doctor that became a doctor because they wanted to help people, and not because of the money and/or their parents riding their ass to become one. Also they graduated with straight As. Nobody wants the doctor that barely passed with Ds.
The costs of medical school make this an impossible ask. The only people that can go to medical school are the people that have rich parents, or are OK with leveraging their future for the chance at becoming a successful doctor. Things go wrong in peoples lives all the time, school gets interrupted all the time. Asking people who just want to help others to pay $300k for the privilege of attempting to get to that point is literally insane. We also have a huge shortage of doctors. Go figure.
If Ds are actually Fs, then they'll get rid of Ds and then teachers will just make the tests easier. Someone decided this person's knowledge was enough to progress.
