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.

Well, who's going to move all the existing tooling to factory sites in Mexico then? Where are they even going to find good factory sites in Mexico with access to good transportation (ports and rails) and skilled labor force on such short notice?
Moving manufacturing is a major undertaking for any company, of course, I don't expect someone like Jim Kramer to know that.
Of course Jim Kramer doesn’t know, he’s a doorknob humping shill. 😂
Pretty weird that I know more about this than Kramer.
Maybe I should do a show where I say dumb things and give bad stock advices. Seems pretty easy.
Not really shocking, I’m pretty sure the aforementioned doorknob, could give more insightful investment information than Kramer lol.
Unfortunate that neither of us has an in, to get his job.
Well, one of us did make a cameo on "The Big Short", so...
You're overqualified.
There's already car manufacturing in Mexico, it's not like it's unprecedented. Obviously they can't do it overnight, but it's not unheard of.
Of course, but the thing is, it's been decades since NAFTA, and all the good sites for manufacturing has all been taken by someone already. So, if they try to move now, not only will they have to build the factory, they'll have to also build power stations/railways/port expansions, which could take multiple years.
