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.

And then you've the fucktards who say in the WEF and other places that "people have to suffer" in order to be more productive / want to work.
But at the end of the day it was the same fucktards who broke the social contract when it comes to work and benefits.
That's the right approach to the job market and I'm not even Gen Z. The current state of things, like expecting people to work multiple jobs, underpaying, firing to then hire at half the rate, constant layoffs, unreasonable demands and managers it's all bullshit that people can't stand anymore.
When a employers and governments "loudly quit" on people's life's and expectations that's what they get.
How many of those managers are 50+ years old, with all they ever wanted and a sense their hard work payed off?
Read between the lines here, article writer 🥲, everything amounts to nothing. Nobody wants their life to pass by unlived
Old people are impossible to talk to, painfully neurotic and stupid and obsessed with collecting clothing and electronics. They have zero compassion. They know the social contract is broken and they keep telling us to make the same decisions as them knowing we will get nothing for it and die
I guess this is the story of Brexit? The UK shouldn't have allowed people over 50 years old to vote on that referendum, because they aren't likely so see the effects of the decision and they're still delusional about a great empire that can stand alone while they watch American TV shows on a TV made in China and a chair designed in Sweden...
Well I'm American so maybe I should clarify only 10% of the people here even currently get to grasp the American dream and statistically it's white people who get to be homeowners and live in the suburbs and be paranoid and rude to everybody including each other.
We are not doing well everything is falling apart infrastructure wise even in wealthy areas. You better be on the Amazon or Microsoft campus etc if you want it kept up.
Brexit is part of a larger pattern too, we're basically trying to make Europe Asia-exit lol. And in the same way it will benefit Asia long run.
Meanwhile we try to turn you guys into Senegal #2, a source of crude oil to refine, and a market to buy our refined oil! As long as you continue to develop more drilling without refinement it's the only way. Geopolitical economy 🗺️
Just to clarify I'm not American nor British and the situation here is mostly what you describe on that phrase. The European dream died before it even started.
Ah makes sense. Another example. We like completely destroyed German manufacturing with these energy prices in the process of trying to sever the region from Russia lol
I wouldnt say its the energy prices that are destroying German industry (I am German too), but the lack of innovation and way too much bureaucracy (and no, that doesnt mean we should lower emission standards, etc., but we should simplify processes and remove rules that serve no one).
It's making it pretty non competitive and that makes things harder down the line, it'll become more apparent bc it's all about keeping up yeah? Same thing happening in USA, due to financialization of fuckin everything and wnting to export labor to countries we have the upper hand on
Look at the whole TSMC expansion debacle
