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.

America spent the majority of WW2 selling their entire manufacturing output to every developed country in the world.

Then they continued on from ww2 being the only country to make a profit and still have the factories working.

They made a fortune from WW2 and after, it could be argued its the best thing that ever happened to that country.

It took a while for other countries to catch up.
