Work Reform
17159 readers
2091 users here now
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.

What if instead you gave them Universal Basic Services? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_services
Bringing the costs of necessary goods and services down would help people significantly. But the opposite would happen if everybody had more money. And that's what I'm saying: more money isn't the answer, lower prices are the answer. Just giving people more money to try and keep up with ever increasing prices is a never-ending cycle that doesn't result in anyone actually being better off.
We're not talking about printing money and giving it away. We're talking about taxing and spending. This doesn't cause inflation as resources are redirected from the pet projects of the wealthy to the needs of ordinary people.
I already know how inflation works thanks ๐
