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. However is does buy opportunities to experience happyness, if spent well.
My camera itself doesn't bring me happiness, but the enjoyment of using it to take photos and later look at them brings me happiness.
That's an excessively pedantic way to put it. That's kind of like saying a heater doesn't warm you, it warms the air, which warms you.
That is fair, but I don't like the saying that money can't buy happiness.
It absolutely can, in a roundabout way
Oh, my point was the relationship is so close you might as well not make the distinction. Money does buy happiness, simple as that. Just as I would simply say that the heater warms me up.
IT BUYS HAPPINESS AND STOP PRETENDING IT DOES NOT DAMN IT. THIS IS JUST WHAT WHALES SAY TO KEEP TAKING OUR MONEY.
