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.

Have i had a conversation wherein my doctor told me how their wealth is why my Healthcare costs are so high?
No. Because that's not why Healthcare costs are so high, and because doctors aren't some stereotypical stuck up flaunting how they bilk their patients, for fucks sake. Grow up.
Doctors aren't a different species my dude, they have the same capacity for assholery.
The AMA is officially opposed to a single payer system. I can't make it any clearer than that. The body of and for doctors thinks the problem is that we just need to get more insurance. Sure there are some who oppose that, and it's maybe even close to 50/50, but that still leaves a lot of doctors who like the status quo.
