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've always despised Chuck; 40 years in office and counting.
They're not going away unless they die. Wake up
Look at Mitch McConnell, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Trump.
When this country was founded, there was no way to conceive that we'd live for 80+ and people would hold an office for their entire life, accumulating treasures like Smaug
(about 80% of R&D voters want term and age limits, about as much as want universal healthcare and higher minimum wage. it's nice to want things)
Ben Franklin died at 84 in 1790 just 2 years after serving as President of Pennsylvania… but okay.
I wonder how that compares to the average life span at that time. It's not unheard off but it was rarer back in his time than ours.
Largely averages from back then are skewed by child mortality rates. Looking at the median age of adults at death results in a number around 75 for the late 1700s. He lived a little longer than the norm but not by enough that it was an anomaly.
Yep. I felt the same about Biden. He was a bumbling shmuch for his entire long career.
Republicans want to abolish the minimum wage and keep healthcare tied to employment
And Democrats just want to never raise the minimum wage again and keep healthcare tire to employment. That's why Schumer is still going to be Senate Leader, he's a.safe bet for the donors.
I remember the "Fight For 15" and how it didn't go anywhere
