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.

MODERATORS
I addressed your strawman claims. I both addressed your argument that "not everyone is altruistic" and expanded on why your anecdote does undermine your argument.
This is just another attempt to not defend a weak argument, which could also be achieved be just not replying. This whole attitude of "I could totally defend my argument, I just don't want to. You need to prove yourself worthy of having me defend it" is not a good look for you or your argument.
Clearly, there isn't even an attempt to rectify why you attacked me on a statement I did not make. It's a free forum where you can post and comment how you like, but I will not waste my time crafting meaningful replies for you that are either beyond your comprehension, or more likely, that you are unwilling to engage in with honesty.
Said while wasting your time posting anything but an actual argument.
