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 have literally never been able to afford these services, and I didn't use them at the start so I dont know what the VC money days were like. Its already like 50 bucks to feed your family at McDonalds when you get it yourself.
I open the app to try to find what I want to eat, then look at the prices and decide to drive there myself and get the food which saves $10-$20.
And 3/4 of the time, the price and hassle to drive drives me to cook at home.
If I'm looking at the delivery app I've already decided I don't have the energy to cook haha
and that's why you keep dry noodles and stock cubes at home, if i can't be arsed to cook i toss a square of noodles and one or two stock cubes in a pot with some water, get it boiling, turn off the plate and ignore it for 5 minutes, and bam food.
then you just rinse out the pot and put it back in the cupboard
I have adhd and I will tell you that seems way too hard when I'm lacking executive function. Way too many steps. Much easier is either to grab something pre-made like an uncrustable or something for the air fryer that is literally just put in and press button. Or the ramen in a cup I can just add hot water to from my water fountain that can just give me hot water I don't need to boil.
you can add hot water to the pot as well, hell make it directly in a bowl if you wish, i just explained how i do it and that it's significantly more convenient than having to wait for food delivery, while also being hilariously cheaper.
