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.

No one can earn a billion dollars without exploiting others.
Not a single goddamn person.
Does she have a fashion brand like Rihanna does? How the hell is she exploiting others by just bring a singer? I don't like her at all and find both her fans and haters cringe but I find this take weird.
Same for Jowling Kowling Rowling. She's a TERF cunt but she was also a writer once upon a time and made billions from movies and other things based on her books.
Earning that kind of wealth is not necessarily the problem. I think it is possible to accumulate it without exploiting anyone.
Keeping it, on the other hand, is a problem. Wealth carries obligations and to maintain that level of wealth requires a person to, at the minimum, remain apathetic to a lot of serious problems which they have the capacity to address.
How did Taytay exploit anyone? She sings and dances in front of people for a living
the crew that set up her stages/audio etc.
you don't make billions by paying people their fair share

I get the feeling you're 🫨 shaking right now at the thought of a billionaire who didn't really exploit anyone
And what about each of her many, many previous tours?
I guess we've finally found the first good billionaire then /s
