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.

Rushed to electric cars.
Rush to space.
Rush to brain surgery.
Trail of dead bodies.
The guy really doesn't care
History has shown that somebody needed to do that: put a real electric car with modern features into big production, complete with a charging infrastructure, damn the panel gaps and software bugs. Did Musk push that into existence? Sure. But that doesn't mean it was a "good decision" at the time. It was a huge gamble, and that one paid off, not just for Musk and Tesla, but for the world.
That's what Musk does. He gambles on longshots. And he gambles with other people's interests and well-being.
