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.

As someone who is going to die from lack of healthcare. It’s frustrating but what am I supposed to do in this situation? At the end of the day I’ll be another statistic but I’m kinda hopeful that it’ll be over soon. If worst comes to worst I’ll go to the ER but I have been getting gradually better minus the heart attacks.
All the best to you, stranger 😕
Have you met my friend Luigi?
Cool. Did anything change with our healthcare?
I'm not shedding any tears over that shitty CEO getting killed but people act like everything magically got better because a CEO died.
Legislation is the only thing that can actually stop the next hydra head from popping up. People with wealth and power will easily outpower peasants. How many rebellions ended with another tyrant in place?
The guy in his 20s, with ample access to education and credit, wealthy parents, and no responsibilities, that Luigi? Yeah, I've heard of him. What are the rest of us supposed to do?
What's someone in their mid-forties, no college education, bad credit, an ex-wife, two kids, and debt up to their eyeballs supposed to do? We can't take a month of work to (allegedly) buy fake IDs, a gun, and a suppressor, travel the country, stalk a CEO, and then go into hiding indefinitely with no job or income. What options do those people have? That's what matters because most US Americans are closer to being like that than being like Luigi.
Thanks for sharing. I assume you have a diagnosis, but you don't have coverage for the treatment?
