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.

Directly, money can't. But lack of it sure as shit can cause a lot of misery.
Source: Used to be poor and miserable. Now I'm doing reasonably well, and I have time and mental capacity to focus on things that make me happy.
It's a case of diminishing returns, if you had 100k in your bank account you'd probably feel the freedom to indulge in modest luxury pretty much at whim - if you have 200M it just turns into a number-go-up situation.
200M barely gets you a penthouse at in this monstrosity. That's peanuts.
I don't know, I figure I could make a pretty positive impact on the world with that kind of seed money. And that would certainly make me extra special happy!
