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.

With all the crazy bullshit going on, I've often wondered how realistic it is for people to leave the city and farm. Like going the Amish way. I have zero knowledge other than my garden, so I'm looking for more information.

Have there been any good studies or analysis of how realistic it would be to abandon modern work culture and return to farming?

Correct, you need planing permission to live there and if the land has that it will cost a lot more than I can afford.

I would be allowed to buy it and put the cabin there, up to a certain size anyway. I could even sleep in it a few times. But living there is illegal. You can only stay overnight 28 times a year.
