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.

Old people are impossible to talk to, painfully neurotic and stupid

Could I ask, how old are you and why do you find it that way? :/ Never had this experience. Maybe my grandpa is a grumpy old fuck but otherwise "old people" are just "people".

Old ppl in the suburbs lol, this only goes for a small subset. I'm reconsidering things after meeting potential inlaws tbqhbbq

So you mean, specifically older Americans (?) living in the suburbs?

Also again how old are you? A bit curious.

I feel like the coolest old people I have met were Americans who travel.

I hear Americans are the worst tourists lol, and the most likely to be there to buy a woman for that matter

No, none of the ones I saw in Europe.

A lot of the worst behavior is concentrated in regions people go for a discount like Bali, India, Mexico, the Philippines, even Japan and SK, pretty much anywhere non European, I'm not surprised to hear you say that
