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.

Or just don't watch it all. If its not worthy your money, its probably shouldn't be worth your time.

Part of the issue is that Disney's media group continues to put out high quality content year after year. Plus their services like theme parks remain in high demand after several years of steep price hikes. How do you compete with that?

Honestly, their recent stuff that's aimed at adults hasn't been great. Most of the Star Wars series, for instance, sucked.

I dug Andor and Ahsoka 🫤

Mando is the only one I cared for. Haven't tried Ahdoka though.

I mean we vote with our wallets and we don't watch their stuff so it fades to obscurity. Even watching something via piracy just means you will possibly recommend it to others leading to sales of their service. If you want a company to die that is really the only answer.

The Daredevil series is worth my money! I just don't want most of it to pay for Disney's public domain lobbying.
