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.

Cool, but not the argument presented.
Rolling out a large amount of any type of infrastructure is similar when it comes to just dollars. Governments around the country can roll out hundreds of billions of dollars in flock camera equipment...all of the sudden? Why haven't they rolled out solar generation before this using that found money...billions.
Okay but... Municipalities dont pay for capex beyond the install. Install costs are under 3k each, so less than $300M total?
Vs solar at around $70B per year.
Even if they were footing the bill, do you really think these cameras cost $2M each?
Yearly subscription service is where flock makes their money. And cities are just scratching the surface on what they will be spending on flock.
