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.

Homelessness would skyrocket because landlords don’t give a fuck.
say essentials workers like nurses and teachers dont show up for work (car mechanics, refinery workers etc .. since those are the backbone of the economy) , the landlord wouldnt have an income but also if he had money he wouldn't achieve anything with it given the basic services aren't available, so his money would be worth jack $hit and that would be the collapse of society
You’re implying rational thought. Before that happens the landlord will empty the property and put it up for sale, eventually becoming one of the homeless as well when no one can buy and the bank takes everything. Because the bank still has money even if everyone else doesn’t and it’s worthless. And your mortgage is due, motherf*cker.
man banks (and the central bank) can have (and print) all the money they want but good luck finding someone to fix your yacht.. and even abroad ur currency would have lost credibility and no one would be willing to accept ur freedom bank notes. but its also a fragile equilibrium between fucking ur society but not too much so the money u r making could still be credible..
