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.

I'm an EE with utility clients. If a lineman/wireman started making the same as me, I would feel the same way.

All the money is sucked out by equity holders.

This economy makes me think of Hamilton's "Dragon", where everyone sank most of their paycheck back into the company to get a high enough "stake", to even get a chance at a meaningful job, at said company.

I'm not even sure when this good little Republican became radicalized. I've done pretty well for myself and yet I would happily watch it all burn down to the fucking ground if it meant everyone actually got a meaningful standard of living and healthcare.
