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.

They successfully got rid of Roe, and now you've got half a generation of boomers with no real ideology. They're the dog that caught the car.
So they have it spoonfed to them by Fox News, et al. without even a moment of reflection.
And now for many of the ones who might have once had a chance of listening to reason, they've gone into the ultimate sunk cost territory. That is, they've caused not only fascism to destroy their country, they have ensured that the planet will not be livable for their grandchildren.
So they must lean more more into dispensationalism and Armageddon theology.
I mean, what else can they do, admit to themselves that they've ultimately made miserable (and drastically shortened) the lives of their own grandchildren?
And for what?
Can't do that. Must march forward with what the child rapists want. Because "God uses imperfect instruments," or something their pastor told them.
Anything else would require admitting to themselves the unforgivable shit that they gleefully participated in while people who cared for them warned and tried to stop them. Their boomer mind won't allow their ego to suffer in that way. After all, that's what matters most. Protecting that boomer ego.
