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.

This is what I point out whenever someone tries to tell me, "The only fair thing in life is everyone gets 24 hours in a day."

That doesn't mean shit when someone with a private jet can be on a different continent in hours.

"We all have the same 24 hours in a day"

I fucking hate that saying so much. I've started telling people just because you and everyone else at the marathon might have the same 23 miles to go, when 9/10 of you are shackled to a heavy steel ball, and at least half are dragging 2 or 3, then that distance means fuck all.

A marathon isn’t that hard. Just buy a car!

I like to use a private jet. I can be so much more productive!

Someone to prepare your meals and do your shopping and run your kids around. All of these things take time that adds up in a week.
