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.

If “most of your wealth is in your home” you don’t have any wealth. What you have is an asset that has been made artificially scarce. It doesn’t help you at all unless you want to move to some area that doesn’t have as much artificial price inflation. However it does hurt your community significantly by making housing unavailable.
People need to think of their children, nieces and nephews before they go calling this selfish short-term thinking “completely logical.” If it’s logical at all it’s in a very narrow way to only a narrow group of people. Nothing “complete” about it.
