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.

It's hard to find friends who are interested in sitting with you in a cave in a world full of material desires. Also, it's not a cave, it's a hollow tree. Have you never read Whinnie The Poo?
I've watched the cartoon, but that was a million years ago.
I take your point. I guess I didn't even realise I am lucky in that sense as well.
It is indeed a blessing. I had 4 very close friends who shared my enjoyment of simple things. One died, 2 went to prison, and the other lost his personality to politics. I haven't really met any other people who I identify with in my adult life. I'm sure there are others out there, but it's definitely harder to form bonds in middle age.
sounds like its time to join a club around your area centered around a common interest
