That's the real crime. Leaders can be old. Workers should never be forced to be old.

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 mean working until you drop dead isn't normal in a civilized country? /s
One still works because they can't let go of power, the other works because they need to survive.
I don't like this headline because it implies that Joe Biden and Donald Trump are, or ever has been, a worker...
What was the important point that was missed?
Old people shouldn’t be workers
Was reading Wikipedia about a string of serial murders last night. One of the victims was an 81 yo man on the way home from his work. This was in 1973. It's not a new problem, it's just worse than before.
It's important to remember what we're working ourselves to death for.
There are millions of 80 year olds working?
Neither one of them cares anything about workers. Young or old.
