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.

If you'll note the for real statement, the example I provided was much more specific. If you can find me a single soul on this earth with a raised short-bed w/ hid (or equivalent LED since HIDs are old now) who isn't an asshole I'll take it back. But I doubt you'll be able to.
As for the teslas in particular, I'd say it's more like 60% than 100% who just don't know how to drive. And our brains are probability engines.
A guy i work with in IT infrastructure lives on a small farm, he has a raised shortbed (assuming that just means a pickup with the back part that has no roof and three short side and tailgate, sorry the terminology is different in the UK so i had to google what it was so could be wrong) he is genuinely one of the nicest pwople i know. He is super helpful with any new staff that joins the team and is very smart. He uses this pickup on his farm, and it serves a meaningful purpose that is not better served by other means.
So there's at least one.
Im not going to argue that there arent dickheads driving these things. But i will fight you on saying that its all of them.
That kind of blanket statement is not helpful. I hope you take what i am saying and genuinely think about it because you are coming off as very intolerant.
Sorry. I dont want to start an argument. Would much rather keep this at the discussion level, i just find it hard to convey context, tone, and intent in text form
