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.

The rich lack the empathy to care that you can't "afford" something. They think everything is a choice. The homeless chose to be homeless as much as they chose to be rich. Fucking delusional evil people!
We are the collection of all of “our” choices.
Even the ones we made before we were born by people we’ll never meet lol
They genuinely believe their familial history and it being the reason they’re rich or privileged enough to become wealthy is their own doing, that they actively participated in creating that opportunity and they’ll call themselves a rags to riches success story for investing a small inheritance or loan of a million dollars into hundreds of millions, saying it was all grind and sheer willpower. They think everyone who didn’t do that is dumber than they are, and then they’ll tell you all about their neat ideas on how scientists and experts are wrong and how all their boys at the private country club told them the real truth about health and economics and women and the poor and anyone who doesn’t believe it is a sucker and deserves it.
It's the same as divine right of kings and queens
That it's God's will that they are the monarch, they are not bound by normies laws etc, and everything they do is blessed by God.
We have failed, as a society, to educate them that there is any other truth to this
Just choose to be born healthy to a rich family. DUH
It's funny how the most valid part of Christianity, that rich people are the most evil, is the part modern "Christians" reject the most.
Well, very few people like to be told they’re the villain…
99.999% of Christians are not wealthy
No, but their preachers all talk Prosperity Gospel at them. And a preacher wouldn’t lie about the word of God!
