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.

Highly illegal, should be an easy win.
You'd think so... but our two tier justice system just let Trump cut his bail requirement in a third because "it so hawwwd". Never underestimate how stuffed with corporate toadies our justice system is.
There's a right wing seminar of economics that they invite and "educate" supreme Court justices on how economics works. Well their ideology of economics anyway. Don't recall if it was a one time thing back then or ongoing but holy cow.
You don't even need something so explicit - justices regularly rub elbows with billionaires and are pretty clearly influenced by the association.
We need something like Discworld's unseen university where they can just be academics locked away from public discourse and celebrity - being a Supreme Court Justice should be an obscure dead-end of a job that only appeals to the legally obsessed.
Anyone not familiar with this, NPR Planet Money has a great podcast about this.

Tldr: right wing economists teach judges why trickle down economics is good and poor people are stupid.
Yup that's where I learned about this. Thanks for the link.
Btw he still has to play the full amount. Just reduced payment needed now. It's still shitty, but he ain't off the hook.
So we assume but this fuck keeps dodging actual consequences.
