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.

Life should be easy. I wouldn't want it any other way.
I'm confused why someone with enough money to make them puke wants to make life difficult for ME.
Nothing better to do?
Human variation.
Some people are wired to hoard as much resources as possible, like a squirrel compulsively burying nuts.
We didn't evolve for the abstract concept of wealth we have now. It's just a number on a screen, it can go up indefinitely and at a certain point it's can't help but accumulate.
At a certain point there should be "to much wealth to manage" that limits these people, if they don't have a limit they're never stop hoarding.
If they could have ever been satisfied, they would have been long before a billion.
What I don't get is why not everyone see this....
