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 don't buy happiness, but no money buys a lot of misery!
Yep; money is necessary but not sufficient for happiness. It also removes very common cause of unhappiness (financial stress). But it can’t unconditionally make someone happy.
Source: I have money but am miserably depressed.
This is exactly it. It doesn't really buy happiness to a large degree, but it does remove so many problems and worries that you get to spend time on your happiness.
