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.

I start thinking that the economic growth we have seen in 2025 and this year is mostly due to these kinds of shenanigans. It all gets counted as part of GDP, despite the fact nothing was actually produced.
if you remove the bullshit AI spending we've been in a recession for awhile
That's why measure of GDP is stupid. It counts every transaction. If you do your own lawn, cooked your own food, then you don't contribute to GDP. But if you hire someone else to do that, then you increase GDP.
Self sufficient communities are bad for the GDP. That's how they define "developed" country, because you have to pay everyone for everything
The more I learn, the more I get upset just how well the elite sold the scam of the modern world
You're correct to think that. We're in a gigantic bubble and when it pops these assholes are going to make it all of our problem.
