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.

The city should fine the fuck out of NBCUniversal for the full cost of replacing those trees. Those are not healthy trees.
They did issue a fine of a whopping $250.
Its amazing how fines for businesses are still at 1950s levels but individual (none rich folk) fines have kept up with inflation since the 80s.
It's almost like corporations and the wealthy have outsized control over politics.
Fines are literally only for poor people. They've done studies on it. Shit is crazy.
Yep, for the wealthy it's just the cost of doing business.
To be honest I thought tree law was going to be more punitive
I asked our AI overlords for an appropriate punishment:
Every day that we live with AI the more I realize they should be replacing our politicians and executives of major corporations.
I dont care if I have to bow to R2D2 one day, that sounds better than the dystopian hell hole we have now.
Jesus. That doesn't even cover one tree, not to mention labor. Even if they were fined per tree.
