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.

Yeah but you're not going to convince people to slash defense budget by a full trillion. It would be madness while China and Russia are acting more aggressive than they have been in over 50 years.
yeah but it would not even be close to a trillion and china and russia don't spend nearly what we do combined.
Well it's already not a Trillion, so yes. The $1.5 number is Trump's request for 2027. Even Republicans, as stupid as they are, are afraid of the banks letting them go default.
If you cut 100 billion of it, you would still have 1.4 trillion to kill brown people with.
Well, no, you'd have about 890 Billion because the 1.5 Trillion is an imaginary figure that Trump made up. The largest parts of that are paychecks and maintenance.
