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.

Americans, forever incapable of imagining solutions above the level of individual behavior (though at a certain point one suspects you’ll fall back on any talking points that allow you to avoid actually doing something).
70 will hit you faster than you think- if you want to be considered an invalid at that age, be my guest.
What an empty and pointless response. It's like you're a bot trained exclusively on smug European comments.
Dude literally made his entire account about Americans, look at his profile lmao
Would, but I already got bored and blocked him lmao
Solid decision
Fascist enablers, always REAL defensive 👍
Enjoy MAGA. You’ve earned it.
Still haven't told me who the old man needs to shoot to get good healthcare. I'm the defensive one?
Could start with another Brian Thompson.
We’re talking here about someone who has already given up. He could do nothing, or he could move the needle a bit.
You know what isn’t going to help him? Waiting for you to get off your able-bodied ass.
“Smug European” - this is cute. It’s like you don’t even clock how MAGA-adjacent you are.
Lol okay. Enjoy your violent revolution fantasy from the comfort of an entirely different country.
Geography is a hell of a substitute for an argument.
This doesn't answer the very simply question of: Who does the 70 year old need to shoot to fix his situation?
What country are you from?
The one just north that’s been telling you for 30 years to get your house in order. ‘What country are you from?’ bullshit is clown-ass deflection from comfortable white liberals. We've been telling you for decades you were on this path, you refused to fix it, got belligerent, and renamed french fries in response, NEVER changed your tactics while the far right continually escalated, and now your failure is spilling across borders and becoming everybody else’s problem. You don't get to export your Nazis and then suddenly discover nationalism when somebody outside your borders points out that your self-satisfied, shitty inaction is responsible. Keep sitting on your ass, you pants-pissing coward, while 30% of your country "jokes" about annexing mine. Fuck you.
Oh the one that had a Nazi parade this week?
We have the same problem friend, i’m not fighting you. I’ll fight beside you when the time comes, fuck man I am not even 30 yet, some of those early warnings were missed because I was either sperm or not old enough
I would belay judgement of others until you get the full picture, shame on you.
