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.

I love how every new thing I learn about Reagan just further cements him as a total piece of shit lol

Lauren Hutton was a model/actress back in the 1970s. I once watched her on a talk show and she had an interesting take on Reagan. He was the long time host of a TV Western show sponsored by General Electric. Every week he'd do a commercial for GE refrigerators and every week America would see him standing next to an ice box full of food. Hutton pointed out that for people who'd lived through the Depression, that was a powerful image. Kind of like how Trump was sold as a genius businessman.
