Pretty ironic that the wealthiest men in Pakistan are stuck in a submarine a week after hundreds of Pakistani refugees drowned trying to get to Greece because these guys are pilfering all the country's money for themselves.

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.

No one is able to accumulate that much wealth without being complacent to human suffering somewhere along the line. The only billionaire I think isn't a bad person would be Mackenzie Scott, and I'm sure she sat there knowing what was happening at Amazon for quite a while.
Fair enough. I don't think all billionaires deserve to suffocate though, but perhaps there should be limits on how much wealth people can hoard, and I'm all for very heavy taxes on wealth over a certain amount to the point that billionaires shouldn't be a thing..
