If billionaires ruined the economy in such a way that 50 percent of people couldn’t afford to feed their families

What do you mean "if"? They're well on the way already and it's getting worse, not better.

then I like to think that people would simply eat the billionaires.

Problem with that is that owning everything also includes bodyguards and even de facto private armies.

way too many people still think billionaires are awesome.

Unfortunately you're absolutely right.

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.
