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.

That's what happens when you give the richest people tax breaks and subsidise all your rich buddies endevours without uplifting the lowest socio-economic portions if society.

The best way to fix the economy is always to give the poorest more money (or less financial burden) because they spend a much higher percentage (usually all) of their excess income to keep afloat or improve their way of life.

The worst way is to give rich people more money. Because they horde it, gamble on non tangible goods (stocks, crypto, "ai" etc), send it off shore, keep it in the family and share it with other rich people etc.

It's ironic that the party that always does the worse thing for the economy and demonises doing the best is seen by the masses as the "good for the economy" party.
