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.

All my life, I was told SS wouldn't be there for me, and now I'm collecting it.
If you tell DC that you expect it to go away, and you'll accept that outcome, no matter how much you hate it, that's exactly what they'll do.
Stop surrendering in advance, and wasting your time posting such pathetic messages. Use your posts to warn them that they are being watched and JUDGED, by the people who have that right. They need to be afraid of us at all times.
It's not sustainable. Our generation isn't having kids, hell we aren't even having houses.
And I wouldn't be surprised if we end up wasting a good chunk of 18-25 year olds between now and then, too.
There will not be enough workers to support us in old age.
I honestly do not see any way for SS to last another 25 years.
I wouldn't be surprised if an absurdly high percentage of Beta Babies (zoomers kids) are unintended. At least in America. So many of my generation have completely given up hope in the future of this country and western society as a whole. The real reason Republicans are going so hard on abortion again...nobody is having babies on purpose.
We're all just patiently waiting for our parents to fucking die so we can turn this around. But it's still gonna be like trying to swerve the Titanic.
And as a generation we are getting fucked when our parents die, because they all fell for reverse mortgages and had to put all their savings towards end of life care, so nobody can even inherit shit. All going to the banks and the corrupt as hell insurance and medical industries.
