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.

If my calculations are correct, my cheeseburger and pizza diet will kill me around the time I want to stop working. That's my retirement.
Na, medical care and medicine are better than they've ever been. They'll save you from your heart attack and you'll spend the next 3 decades paying for heart medication.
If they save you with meds, why not just try and overdose on those if you really wanna die at that point?
Why wait when you could just achieve your goals today?
A better retirement plan would be Costco hot dogs.
Who am I skimping out on cheeseburger money for?
The Unknown Ones.
It's like a version of The Whale where he doesn't have a daughter and isn't depressed from his gay lover dying, but just depressed because of general socioeconomic conditions and the overall shitty state of the world.
