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.

Boomers built an economy based around raping the wealth and futures of their children, to fund their retirement.

They consistently voted for politicians and policies that would benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else, in basically every economic sector.

Of course they don't pay their orderlies well either.

That would mean their 401ks wouldn't go up by as much.

Only now that the most grotesque frontman conceivable is helming the logical conclusion of their mindset turned into policy, are they starting to regret it all.

The pathological narccisist gerontocracy society.

Healthcare is the only sector with actual job growth now.

Everything else is collapsing.

The turned the entire country into basically a big retirement home supercomplex that you can't opt out of.
