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.

Nah, only the times when you make definitive statements about comment patterns and the overall quality and nature of the entire account.
You know, the rare occasions where it's actually what determines whether you have a point or are full of shit and doubling down to avoid having to just admit that the subtle difference between satire and stupidity eluded you ๐คท
If you have to point out that you're doing satire, you're pretty dogshit at satire.
Or some of the audience didn't get the joke and doubled down on being right to, as was the case here.
A lot of people thought that A Modest Proposal was sincere and as I mentioned to another of the wooshed complainers, people who didn't get it share The Onion articles as if they were real news all the time.
If satire is TOO obvious, it loses its edge. If it's easy to be understood immediately by those actively wanting it to be sincere, it's not good satire, so I guess you only like bad satire like Babylon Bee or whatever equivalent fits your politics better ๐
Dude, I'm a big fan of satire. You're still here, days later, trying to convince me of how funny this "satire" is and how I don't get it. Satire and dry humor are a second language to me. This is just a very shitty attempt at satire. Go take a nap or something.
Because you're still here, days later, insisting that you not getting it automatically means that it was bad or not even satire.
Must be damn near illiterate then
It's ok to admit you didn't get it at first. You don't have to deflect your feelings of inadequacy.
I have. And I'll stop replying to your bullshit when you stop giving me bullshit to refute ๐คท
Sorry, all I heard was you have a shit sense of humor and don't understand satire.
Must be an echo of yourself you're hearing then.
