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.

Yup and that's probably the biggest injustice the world has ever seen. But that doesn't erase the fact that Bezos, does not have an income or even a net worth of $1.5T, which is what it would take at 4.7% to make $70B.
This meme could just as easily have said, for instance, that "just Bezos alone could personally fund this program for three years and he'd still be a billionaire. Imagine if we forced that on every billionaire." It would still make a powerful point without spreading a lie to do it. Because if you think a whole bunch of people who saw this and didn't fact check it AREN'T going to repeat it to other people, your kidding yourself.
