Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't.

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.

Credit where credit is due.
I live in NYC and voted for him, but I honestly thought he'd be bogged down by an entrenched bureaucracy and not actually do much.
It was worth the price of admission just to see the Lesbian Fire Commissioner.
edit = The Fire Commissioner was an EMS Chief before getting promoted. Back in 1995 most of the front line EMS workers hated the idea of being pulled into the Fire Department. They liked being independent. It took a long time, but now the tail is wagging the dog.
What I would give to be the person in charge of lesbian fires.
You wouldn't last a minute at a lesbian fire.
That's why I'm not the Commissioner.

Report To the Commissioner.
Underrated 1970s movie
Ten seconds, fifteen if I've just been in a previous fire. I'm bi-flammable btw.
You flamed out twice??
The self own? Those are rare.
Oh I can last far longer than you think.
Like they used to say on Reddit.
Pix or it didn't happen.
Club doesn't allow cameras you'll just have to use your imagination.
Yeah, like you could get into a club.
Maybe a club sandwich?
Nice one, I particularly like that it's a sandwich based snap from an account named Dagwood.
👉🏻😏👉🏻
Oh they call me the fireman, cause baby that's my name...
Why? Is she building a series of canals to divert water for firefighting? Because that would be legit funny. Because it's a dike.
Happy pride month. I think/thought Lesbians took ownership of that term, stripped it if it's derogatory meaning... and I'm meaning it endearingly. Not like the F word. That's loaded with historical context and I wouldn't use that. That'd be like a white guy using the N-word endearingly...that's really just not possible. Exception for Bob Dillan in "Hurricane", of course. If I'm wrong please let me know.
In my opinion if you're not a dyke it's better to not apply it to a person.
I think the joke about a lesbian building a dike is funny personally so you got away with that one.
