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.

Idk about studies, but we have a 10x20 garden plus numerous fruit trees, and it hardly feeds us for a few days look. We end up growing a lot of tomatoes, cucumber, and other stuff that can easily be canned like pasta/pizza sauce, salsa, pickles, jellies/jams, etc cuz we either can't eat it all when ripe and a lot goes bad, or we eat what we can and freeze it. We also use a lot of the stuff for our pets (making food) that's ripe but maybe not pleasant looking lol. We spent so much on a deep freezer, canning supplies, storage racks it takes a couple years to recoup the costs.
Other than that, it does feel good to be partially self-sustainable. Its also nice in the summer to walk outside and just eat stuff fresh off the vine! Plus no preservatives.
