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.

You laugh now, but we're staring down the barrel of all that shit melting away as we all burn. The "owning class" is actually making it happen faster lol.
250k has more in common with 30k than with megayaght CEOs.
And they'll all burn regardless. Me and you as well. The money and all it meant will burn with us. All these stupid little arguments about class lines are all without value in the face of our self made apocalypse.
You'll just have to pardon me. I've been paying close attention to the actual biggest, most important news in human history that so many seem to want to downplay or ignore. It's basically already over and the wealthy are still stomping the gas on it to extract more wealth and power.
That's money for you. Our stupid ass ape brains just couldn't handle the money game we invented. At least the wealthy will be suffering too as they are left to fend for themselves.
Hey collapse-aware friend,
I definitely get the frustration of having that level of awareness and looking around at others discussing things that seem pointless in comparison. Especially early on, if it happens to be a recent thing for you.
That being said, people aren’t going to suddenly stop living their lives because of where we’re personally at, and saying doomer stuff unprompted is generally just unproductive overall.
Plus, the sooner everyone is aware, the faster collapse will happen. So might as well let people enjoy what they have now. As you said, it’s basically already over.
Personally, I enjoy giving shitty, brutally honest answers to job applications for jobs I don’t actually want, to be particularly cathartic. Because who cares about companies.
Nothing to do with what I said.
Oh it does. You could say it's quite existential. The pampered house cats that think themselves above will suffer. Poetic justice as the systems they rely on start to collapse and they see the only class there ever was, was human.
Some of them are smart enough to see this and they think bunkers and the like will protect them. They won't. All this made up divisive shit will burn.
👌👍
