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.

They do not. People making $150K a year think they will keep making that (and more) for decades to come, and it's ludicrously easy to spend all that on useless shit. Shit, just drugs alone can take most of that.
Literally the reason we established social security in the first place ...
Tbf cost of living in such areas, assuming not remote, can be igher too and that consumes a chunk of the higher salary.
I had a $100K+ salary when I lived in northern Louisiana. I and two other people rented a house for $400 a month (total rent). I still somehow managed to not save any money. I even had the opportunity to buy the house we were renting for $15K and I passed.
