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.

With all the crazy bullshit going on, I've often wondered how realistic it is for people to leave the city and farm. Like going the Amish way. I have zero knowledge other than my garden, so I'm looking for more information.

Have there been any good studies or analysis of how realistic it would be to abandon modern work culture and return to farming?

The big issue is things like healthcare. As long as your lucky and stay healthy its workable. Can even raise kids and homeschool. Theoretically insurance should fix the healthcare thing but. I assume your in the us mentioning amish. I know at one point medical education was one of the few things amish communities encouraged their members to go out and get. Just having a large community of many families is a big help with many medical issues. Help if your laid up especially at an important time. Keep in mind that is dependent on otherwise having a peaceful or isolated area. I mean farms and outlying areas are plum draft areas in russia.
