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.

By this idea of job structure, Trump is doing great. He is working purely for pursuits and not to worry about paying rent. So I have to disagree, your goal is much to simple to observe intricacies.
However, I personally disagree and believe that he is doing very little work. I would much rather have actual education reform to allow freeflowing access of jobs. Incentivizing self growth through fair access and credentials. *Edit. Now realizing this can in turn downplay the actual learning of social sciences which I feel is crucial to acknowledge intricate subjects like the aforementioned.
This is a crucial acknowledgement that I feel is essential to making your idea fruitful.
Did you just preach to me you want slavery back‽ Donald Trump is fleecing the US economy to spoil himself wealth he didn't earn. Massive larceny isn't work! 🤬 you smoking?
I'm talking about workers owning their means, their time, their rest. “Employment” shouldn’t exist.
How di you enter this earth? Who employed you?
You were born a slave to your family, a slave to your own mind, and genuinely to me a servitude to retail is better than a slave to illness and death.
Nothing is stopping you, go and live your work free life. Do it and find the darkness man has, the depths unimaginable to survive. Go ahead, please.
My brother did it at 14 and lived a painful 27. So much so, that his own mother wept that finally his suffering had ended.
If your family has exploited you to the point of eternal slavery, I'm afraid you’ll need more than therapy to deal with your loss. The bourgeoise should extinct.
I am saddened you do not know the debt you are born with, raised through.
You think I subscribe to your cult?
Cease your slavery apologia, or into my first Anarchist Pub block you go.
