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.

I'm not a console player, so I had to wait till the sequel to have that shit happen to me. All I knew was "People like this Destiny thing, maybe Destiny 2 will be awesome?"

With Destiny 2 they kept releasing expansion packs every five seconds and actively removing older content from the game making me not sure which expansion packs will actually do anything, and confusing the shit out of newer players who can't keep up with the lore because older story missions were removed.

I liked the base game, but... then we had like 3 expansion packs drop in 6 months, and in that time we had to migrate the accounts from Blizzard to Steam, and all the packs were about the price of a whole new game....

They dragged me in to the MMOFPS concept, and immediately kicked me out when I didn't want to whale. Or at least, that's what it felt like

Oof. That whole last paragraph describes my relationship with Rockstar and GTA online.
