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.

it's probably wise not to patronize places like that if possible.
I totally agree, but not with its feasibility. Wouldn't this only be possible in a non-globalized world with far fewer humans where everyone could grow their own food and be self-sufficient within their communities? I'm pretty sure I can't get my lentils locally. Similar reasoning my other foodstuff; waste is pretty much the standard. Or I'm just making excuses because I've grown accustomed to the convenience of getting all my stuff in one place.
