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.

Maybe instead of blaming them... you look at the years and years of dismantling funding for schools and the push for technology in the classroom...
Oh yeah, that's fucked. Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely not saying it's their fault that they're worthless, just that they are worthless.
The mix of experimenting with tech in the classroom, social media, then add in missing two developmental years from covid, and we have ourselves a lost generation.
We already learned our lessons. California has banned phones in schools starting this school year. Many countries are banning kids under 18 or 16 from social media all together.
We learned a ton from how badly gen z turned out. But they did turn out very badly.
