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.

Stop using Amazon…
That includes AWS!!!
Whats the alternative? (For real, i have a ec2 instance there, and I guess I could use azure or google cloud but they are shitty companies too)
If you're a cheapskate like me, oracle cloud's free vps tier is the most generous I've seen of any provider. I suspect it's because their other services are subpar so they gotta raise market share somehow.
Is the cpu good? I am running a minecraft server. And the advertised 24gb, is that RAM or storage?
They give you two types of machines for free. One is x86 (AMD) based with a 2ghz cpu and 1gb ram. The beefier machine (the one with 24gb ram) is ARM based. Besides hardware, the main benefit for me over google is the traffic limit, 10tb per month instead of 1gb per day.

There are options, the question eventually comes down to if you want to support Jeff’s billionaire lifestyle
Its a lot more expensive with local companies. (8x as much) Because I use a couple hours a week, with high processing power, and most (all that I could find) of them you pay for the entire month at a time.
Personally seen the opposite in terms of pricing. But don’t forget the added value of support; local small businesses usually offer, they often go above and beyond to help you.
