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.

And then you've the fucktards who say in the WEF and other places that "people have to suffer" in order to be more productive / want to work.
But at the end of the day it was the same fucktards who broke the social contract when it comes to work and benefits.
That's the right approach to the job market and I'm not even Gen Z. The current state of things, like expecting people to work multiple jobs, underpaying, firing to then hire at half the rate, constant layoffs, unreasonable demands and managers it's all bullshit that people can't stand anymore.
When a employers and governments "loudly quit" on people's life's and expectations that's what they get.
How many of those managers are 50+ years old, with all they ever wanted and a sense their hard work payed off?
Read between the lines here, article writer ๐ฅฒ, everything amounts to nothing. Nobody wants their life to pass by unlived
Old people are impossible to talk to, painfully neurotic and stupid and obsessed with collecting clothing and electronics. They have zero compassion. They know the social contract is broken and they keep telling us to make the same decisions as them knowing we will get nothing for it and die
Could I ask, how old are you and why do you find it that way? :/ Never had this experience. Maybe my grandpa is a grumpy old fuck but otherwise "old people" are just "people".
Old ppl in the suburbs lol, this only goes for a small subset. I'm reconsidering things after meeting potential inlaws tbqhbbq
So you mean, specifically older Americans (?) living in the suburbs?
Also again how old are you? A bit curious.
Yep. Early twenties. There are plenty of awesome old people in this country. Shitty paranoid homeowners who wpuld enjoy aprtheid south aftica congregate in suburbs
I feel like the coolest old people I have met were Americans who travel.
I hear Americans are the worst tourists lol, and the most likely to be there to buy a woman for that matter
No, none of the ones I saw in Europe.
A lot of the worst behavior is concentrated in regions people go for a discount like Bali Indonesia, India, Mexico, the Philippines, even Japan and SK, pretty much anywhere non European, I'm not surprised to hear you say that, because Euros and the upper class of saudi arabia and SK and aus and canada and US+NATO and europe is all alike in this way
Funny, reminds me how some Swedish men fly to Thailand to do things they cannot easily/safely do in Sweden, like pay for sex or do drugs.
Thailand is a perfect example thanks forgot to mention that.
We also can kind of offer high end "vice services" like gambling and debauchery and whatnot to the elite of gulf states even better if they're very conservative and we can blackmail the hell out of them afterwards. The elite of the world coming to Las Vegas and Dubai and Thailand and Bali alike I mean
