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.

I'm trying to think of a real world example of government breeding growth that's gone wrong, but I can't think of any.
There's plenty of examples of breeding control that have gone horrific of course. I just can't think of the opposite example.
Take a look at the Wikipedia header on National efforts to increase or decrease fertility.
That Wikipedia article link reminds me of the fucked up thing nestle did with baby formula
For sure. Somehow Nestle still pisses me off more though. Corporations that get too powerful are the real danger to us today in my opinion. But they draw a lot of parallels with the old corrupt communist regimes.
The US seems to be trying a bad option. Rather than offer actual support, they are trying to force it through the guise of morality
The phrase "breeding control" makes me so fucking uncomfortable
