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.

The plan is to physically destroy yourself to fix an entirely imaginary problem.
The ‘National Debt’ is merely the cumulative tally of money that nation’s government has ‘spent’ into, and not yet taxed out of, existence. It imposes no tangible burden, and believing it does helps the owning class convince the uninitiated to choose and work against their own interests.
Debt is caused by the rich refusing to contribute. Everyone needs adequate healthcare, housing, clean food and water, transport, and a pristine environment.
This argument lends weight to the specious idea that taxation on wealth hoarding is necessary to pay for the provision of society.
Provisioning healthcare, housing, food, water, transport, and a liveable environment is not constrained by financing, it’s an exclusively social and political choice to not allocate or deploy the appropriate resources.
The financially obese should be euthanised through taxation, not because we need their money, but because they’re an existential threat to any society that tolerates them.
