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.

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....
