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.

Democratic Socialism is where citizens of democracies pay taxes to support their fire departments, military, health care systems etc. They still believe in free markets and your life improving if you work hard/go to school etc. It’s only corrupt politicians and the ignorant that equate social programs with Communism. Americans have been gaslighted by the financial elite to view social programs as a hand out, because the elite receive no profit from them.
