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.

Alright, this is my last message, but I'll try to explain it. This is an example of DeMorgan's law.
Let's call "support" A, and "50%" B, just so we can move it away from natural language. Not A means "not support" or "don't support".
The headline can be expressed as "not A < B". Using DeMorgan's law, we can change that to an equivalent statement of "A >= B".
Now, convert it back to natural language and that's "support >= 50%".
Again, I'm not making a claim on the validity. I am only expressing what the headline says. Headlines can be wrong, and the article may even contradict it. That doesn't affect the headline though.
I understand your pedantry. And I explained the rationale.
Not sure why you felt the need to restate it, no one is confused.
Damn, y'all two are splitting the dumbest fucking hairs.
