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.

I honestly think the poor understanding of math is to blame for a lot of our problems. People don't understand exactly how massive a billion dollars are, they don't understand probability so they play the lottery. Most people get visibily angry when I've explained exactly how much money the Epstein class is hoarding.
If you counted 1 second every second until you reached 1 million it would be something like 11 days.. if you kept counting like that until you reached 1 billion it would take you something like 32 years. If you were to CONTINUE COUNTING like that until you reached 1 trillion, over 31,500 years would have passed. Nobody needs a Trillion dollars. Hell nobody needs a billion. To defend billionaires is to defend the dragon pillaging your cities.
