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.

Well kid, it's funny that your ideea it's not applicable only if it's sapping resources created beforehand. So is a net consumer not producer. In comunist terms it's a "parasite on the workers class".
There are some key concepts you're not grasping and you should educate yourself for your own good. Things like:
I didn't say politics. I said government. The people doing this kind of work will do it no matter which party is in office. And they are out there right now somewhere in the world doing it already. And if you want to cast the whole of production and distribution as "the economy" then it would take an asteroid, super volcano, or zombie plague to stop it. We aren't talking about everyone just doing nothing and you know it. People are still going to harvest food. Truck drivers are still going to drive their trucks. The method of pay just changes.
Saying the economy isn't just the stock market when the economy crashing is solely defined by the stock market going down is fucking hilarious.
I said what I had to say it's time to carry on. Good luck!
You could have found more respectful ways to say them.
