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.

Most homeless people just need help because they are victims of circumstance. Give them an apartment with a few months of rent paid up, a few months food and doctors visits/medical coverage, and a basic phone with a few months prepaid and they'll have enough breathing room to get back on their feet, find a job, and take over the rent on the apartment.. Assuming, of course, republican policies havent completely destroyed the job market ๐
and that 3 months of help, and small investment, will turn them back into a working citizen paying back into the system and have them off the streets, out of shelters, and back out of the social safety net.
and its been proven multiple times that doing this is not just the morally right choice, its the financially smart choice.
But in America we don't care about doing the moral thing. We don't care about doing the financially wise thing. we don't care about doing whats right.
We care about punching down at the less fortunate and more vulnerable. Which is why systems like this will never come to fruition. Which is why homelessness which is wholly an artificially manufactured issue, will never be a solved issue.
Then you get the homeless person that throws their shit on the wall with major undiagnosed mental issues
