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.

Yeah, I specifically meant economic freedom, or at least what I feel I have the freedom to do without worried like I had in the US. I'm not a small business owner (just me for now), bout a house that doesn't break the bank without fear of not being able to afford it even at half my salary, and don't worry about medical bills.
I've heard there are weird laws around buying and selling gold, but I don't so I can't speak to that. The most friction I have is with investing because I still have US citizenship which is not a Japan problem.
