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.

Millennials and Gen-Z are truly the lost generation.

Imagine still living with parents in your late twenties or even early thirties because you simply cannot afford to even rent your own place. Now imagine that work pays like shit and you are busting your ass working long hours to chase an eternal pipe dream of economic prosperity. You can't even seek psychiatric help for your ailing mental health because it's expensive, inaccessible and oversubscribed.

For a man, being in that situation makes you downright undateable so it's not like you can rely on the joint incomes that couples do either.

And we wonder why toxic masculinity is on the rise...

The rich have done a smash & grab on the economy and made everybody poorer as a result of their own greed. It's a dangerous game.
