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.

I would argue that pure capitalism produces a toxic profit - one that doesn't help humanity, be it the short or long term. Kings of centuries past may have been wealthy compared to their peasants, but the ordinary people of today have many more options for finding joy in life.

Our billionaires are preventing us from developing a society that would enrich every single person - including themselves.
