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.

(1) clickbait title gonna clickbait
(2) They are not aiming to convey facts - which we've known for several decades, like the wealthy have all of the um, ah, wealth - and rather to convey an emotional punchline. So just one sentence phrase, without any compound portions.
(3) I do not know about this source in particular but in general all news media is owned by oligarchs, and presumably the author felt that a story talking about the top 0.1% would not be published, so they misrepresented the situation in order to make it more tolerable. This serves the oligarchy by redirecting anger away from billionaires that you will never see, to the local millionaires in , or even to Taylor Swift that you will see in entertainment. Meanwhile, people like The Musk still control the outcome of the Russian vs. Ukrainian genocidal war... but sure, show a picture of Taylor Swift as if that is remotely comparable as the literal "face of this issue".
