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.

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
depends on which country maybe..but at some time even doctors efforts would be vain when everyone is living in tents and catching cold: u would have to prescribe antibiotics agressively and that would cause further damage to society..we are debating socialism at this point really (at least what i think it is)..(since u'r implying free medical care for instance)
personnally i am not wishing otherwise really, but those pesky rich are aware of their wrongdoing: once they mess up everything, their private jets would be ready to fly them to their apocalypse bunkers, and we would be left by ourselves at that point. Also its sad that war exists: america pretending to support ukraine while buying russian uranium and renewing its war arsenal, benefiting both energy and weapon sectors that are making huge gains, while ukrainian soldiers (and europeans) are doing the heavy lifting ( getting killed ) ( sustaining cold winters without fuel or having to buy expensive american fuel which in retrospect would benefit..american business men ) europe is becoming like the U.S's $hit umbrella against russia and china..
