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.

One of the Epstein files is an email from a CEO where he says they no longer have to worry about revolt because the people are too obsessed with buying consumer products. Lots of people posted it and criticized him, but very few people were honest enough to admit the truth: he was right.
Bread and circus. That's all the people want. You give them just enough bread and an overwhelming amount of circus and the people won't rise up for anything. Beyond the traditional definition, consumer products these days also include social media, streaming services, and video games.
