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 so interesting seeing the whole list. Most of these guys are around the same age and were the survivors of the dot com bubble. It really speaks to how economically inefficient things have become when one relatively isolated event in a particular (and at the time narrow) industry created a distinct economic class that now just arbitrarily runs the country despite being extremely detached from it.
It feels a bit like the "paperclipping" AI doomsday scenario but instead of paperclips the tech oligarchs only understand tech and are just mindlessly trying to use all of the nations resources to make more tech companies.
I have heard the idea that we already have AGI (and all the dangers that come with it) in the form of corporations. And corporation that has a billionaire in complete control of the goal and direction of a company would be very similar, expressing one public side goal but actually having a different one in mind.
