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.

Population growth is a pyramid scheme.
I'd never actually thought of it that way but, holy shit, that's pretty damned close!
Capitalism is a pyramid scheme.
FTFY
You can always move to North Korea if you don't like capitalism that much.
Why do we have to go to the extreme. The scandanavian countries are socialist/capitalist countries and they have one of the best living conditions.
Those countries are all below replacement level too though. This is a problem that's affecting almost every country in the world, not just the US. In fact the US has been able to avoid the problem for a while because of immigration but even that's not able to keep the replacement level up anymore.
But there are currently, in the United States, right now, too many people. We need less people to be born so there are less people, and we need it to continue for probably 30 years.
This is like if a guy starving in the desert complained he wants water and you offered to toss him into the middle of the ocean.
lmao, stay mad nerd
