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.

"Money doesn't buy happiness" was first coined when people could afford a house with an average income. We're starving and that one time our grandparents over-ate at a buffet is being shoved down our throats.
If you are starving, I can suggest several resources.
I'm curious what's at the other end of your analogous remark, go on.
Given the community, I'm guessing it's eating the rich.
That would have been such a great answer. Unfortunately my previous statement was just taken too literally and I got referred to ebt 🙃
Snap/ebt, local food and clothes closets, WIC, feeding america has a lot of helpful links, a lof christian churches have a shared meal on sundays that are open to anyone.
It was a metaphorical starving Jake, we're not really being punished for the time our grandparents went to a buffet. Thank you for your sincerity though god bless.
