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.

That's pretty damn sobering, and accurate. We're so use to being told what to think, and my whole takeaway from this, apart from "Eat The Rich", is to look for yourself. What he wrote after that paragraph is something we all should be doing. Looking at housing prices, looking at where real people are squeezed, and to act based on that. We're just cattle.
I look at the US primaries and caucuses and I see nothing but bullshit, "cute moments" as described in this article that won't help us at all. I look at Bernie Sanders' bill about the 32 hour workweek and I think about the weak willed moderate Democrats who won't vote for it, and all the scumbag Republicans who are not even hiding that they're part of this exact problem of enriching the rich while removing wealth from everyone beneath them.
Capitalism can work, when its heavily regulated with active oversight and robust enforcement. We haven't had a free market in many decades, the joke is on all the BS Republicans are peddling.
