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 may not buy happiness, but it certainly reduces suffering.
Money maximizes the opportunity for happiness.
Getting it as a tattoo on my ass.
Oh, I like that one.
Money can't buy me happiness, but I'm happiest when I can buy what I want, any time that I want, get high when want...

"To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in that suffering."
That said: It takes a good deal of money to fund any search, especially enough time to actually contemplate meaning... Thus, money, to some extent or another, is necessary to truly survive - and the extent of that money greatly contributes to the extent of survival. It does not guarantee survival - but it is required to have the opportunity.
Since money of course is just the means of exchange, having it prevents the suffering resulting from deprivation being imposed.
