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.

How's that fascism going Italy?

Just slightly worse than all the others that came before... Our politicians are too incompetent to even do fascism "right".

As intended, from the looks of the strikes.

I wish this could be blamed on current or recent (or right wing) governments. The progressive demolition and/or privatization of welfare (from healthcare to social security nets) is a process that goes on for at least 20 years now, carried out by all the main parties.

It feels like the same in Germany. Public service, education and infrastructure budgets are wrung dry while certain top percent owners accumulate massive wealth. Now they're blaming migrants
