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.

Because smart people are typically less likely to be an asshole who take advantage of their piers
Failed Imagineer - Propagandhi
Yeah, a smart person launches from shore. Piers are for evil people
Because it selects for psychopathy and not (or not just) intelligence
Smart people and people with a strong work ethic for things that don't come naturally to them aren't generally evil enough to steal from workers, con, or do generally evil things.
Most billionaires inherited their money, solved
Of course LinkedIn slop misinterprets the data to basically say, "You, too, can become a billionaire even if you had mediocre grades!"
That hellscape of a platform is so full of self aggrandizement and accountability dodging.
Edit: Also, this guy has no concept of education and seemingly a feeble grasp of success markers. His articles seem extremely biased by his own upbringing and social mores.
As a selfmade billionaire I can tell you it's all about your grind mind. I started my company in the kitchen and continued in the garage. When my mom initially said I can't have 10 million in starting capital I asked her again and she said ok. Grind mind. Then she told me not to take the lambo but guess what? I took it anyway. Grind mind.
Because GPA is a poor predictor of success at either university or business
Business, yes. University, less so.
The whole system's a scam
