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.

Giving people money to rise them out of poverty does buy happiness
Greedily accumulating wealth after you have enough money for anything you could have ever needed doesn’t
While money doesn't literally buy happiness, it does get rid of 95% of the things in life that cause unhappiness like paying for food, shelter, clothing and bills.
I’m not sure but spending my money on park rides definitely buys happiness for me, instead of having no money and just thinking how I can survive this month. Nearly everything nowadays is monetized, sure you could go for a bike ride and picnic, buy bike, buy food, still some money investment.
