Full title: 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, and treason.

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.

If you're screwed up political system that's responsible. I'm pretty sure the US is the only country in the world where bribes are actually legal. Bribery is illegal even in Russia even if it isn't actually enforced but at least they don't pretend that what they're doing is right.
You won't move over to green energy even though it's more economically viable because of lobbyists.
You have private health care because of lobbyists.
Your food would be considered toxic by every other nation, but it's allowed because of lobbyists.
By all means shoot some health insurance CEOs nobody will shead the tear for them, but they are the symptom not the cause. If your country allows lobbying then don't be surprised that you get lobbyists.
Every country has bribery and many countries, like the US, formalize a bribery system into law by putting in limitations and adding recording requirements.
I think you point out correctly that powerful special interests use things like lobbying and regulatory capture to control government policy.
The cause is the real issue that no one wants to talk about because it means taking a cold hard look at ourselves and behavior. I would argue it is ultimately a cultural issue so fixing our policies will not be enough to affect change.
