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.

Having that debt played a big part in the US gaining the soft power that it used to have. Long term I'm not sure we'd even want to eliminate that debt but maybe target to keep it near the inflation rate.
Basically "if you owe the bank a dollar you have a problem. If you owe the bank a billion dollars the bank has a problem" but extended out to international scale. If your roi depended on the US being sound and successful you'll take steps to ensure that outcome.
