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.

A least back in that time I could just go into some desolate forest labor a patch of land, raise some chickens and not be bothered by anyone. now the homeless can't even sleep in the park or public land without having the rich and the state chase them off.
That patch of land belongs to the King, peasant. Off the Kingswoods with you.
Kingdoms back then didn't have as much control of the land and the people as nation states with all the suppressing technological and army apparatus of today. In many parts of the world you'll be living peacefully for decades before any tax collectors showed up. World history goes beyond Europe's borders
And die at the ripe old age of 35
You had the boomer take of "hurr durr, they don't teach history anymore" one reply up, then immediately say dumb shit like this...
Yeah yeah the average life expectancy was dragged down because of infant mortality I know. Congratulations, you found a technicality, dumbass. Do you deny my general point - which there's no way you're dumb enough to miss - that the standard of life, and medicine in particular, have vastly improved in the modern era?
For whom? Define "standard of life". Define "modern era".
Fuck you, Sealion, I'm not spending all day defining obvious concepts.
i.e. you don't have a point and don't even want to go through the effort of considering the validity of your own opinions.
No I'm just too wise for your bullshit to work on me. "Define 'modern era'" what a crock of shit. Come on. I fought in the Meme Wars of 2016. You have to do better than that. Stop trying to bog shit down in useless technicalities. Address my central premise or gtfo.
