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.

It's probably burning more wealth than it creates anyway

Oh come on. Like a dozen old white dudes who have no morals are making a TON of money off of it
This is likely why the Chinese appear to be more positive to AI. They're not forced to use AI for ridiculous tasks and they're not as worried that AI will displace them.
sounds delusional as fuck
Since China's economy isnt "not in a depression" due to six companies buying shovels for AI slop from each other, there isn't the same rabid propaganda encouraging management to compel the use of it.
Plus China's formally a communist country, meaning they have a welfare system that is less distorted by any desire to torment the poor.

(I'm sure it's less awesome than it could be, but being better than the US on this issue is so low a bar that counties almost have to intentionally choose not to clear it.)
