We work 40+ hours a week and they tell us we can’t afford insulin for our neighbors, but we can always afford another war

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.

But in Canada you may have to wait to see a doctor! Checkmate socialists!
Which means you were triaged and are not among most critical cases. Wanna know what happens in an American ER when you aren't visibly in critical condition?
I unironically recommend watching the gripping horror/drama that is "The Pitt" to understand how ERs work in the United States.
To be fair, it's VERY exaggerated. Yes, many of the situations are realistic, and a lot of the actual medicine is very accurate, but the overall situation is pretty far outside the normal for any real hospital.
It's like an entire year's worth of worst case scenarios jammed into a "one shift" season.
Ohh you rolled snake eyes, sorry lose 12 hours and try again
I bet it's something Canadian!
