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.

Really basic 100m2 house is 450.000€ here. No basement no lot. Construction is stupid expensive since ukraine war started. Add to this, everytime there's a sale several people demand processing fees in % of the value including state... This drives prices only up.
Doesnt help that china built their economy on real estate in the last decades, consuming lots of the raw materials. Also ever stricter regulations like insulation, heating, electricity is a point.
Companies buying homes shouldnt exist but we are at 650-750k for a 4 person home with barely any lot without that already.
