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.

That's literally a big part of your argument....that we could give everyone all 340 million people in the usa....1million dollars...which is so much money the entire worlds gdp wouldn't cover it. It's a silly discussion point.
Who said we were getting it from the government?
Even if you got it from every billionaire and millionaire.
You do know what 340 million multiplied by 1million is right?
It's more money than has been printed in the history of the world.
I can't believe I'm having to even state this....
Dude, you are so focused on an adjustable detail that you are completely missing the point. There is a number that will work. Covid stimulus checks proved that even a small amount of money can make huge difference in the economy, imagine what a substantial amount will make?
It doesn't even have to be all direct payments. Investing the money in universal health care alone would free up an incredible amount of household cash, especially if it also forgave ALL medical debt.
