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.

He's just a retard.
I've known a number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They're often quite kind-hearted, loving people. Musk is not. You don't need to insult them twice by comparing Musk to them, and using hateful terminology while you do it.
Maybe call Musk an asshole, a nazi, a shitass fucking fleck of rotten cumstain stuck to Trump's taint instead.
Don't forget "a cunt". Sorry... I'm Australian and not calling Elon Musk a cunt feels wrong.
He's definitely a Nazi cunt by Aussie definition. But lacking the warmth and depth, he fails to meet American criteria.
his family was mad when aparthied ended,.
Idk, I like re-defining that word to be used on people like him. Just call people with actual disabilities “handicapped” or “disabled”
Edit: whoever downvoted me def calls special needs people “retards”. That’s not cool
No.
This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.
Elon is a Nazi, full stop.
We don't need to resort to ableism to hate a nazi.
I can't stand him. Interesting that's the word you've used cos in Britain it's considered ableist. Can I interest you in the word "wanker" instead? It rolls off the tongue nicely.
He is both a moron and a Nazi
Yes but also he’s a nazi
yeah, and he is not accidentally a nazi as is often implied.
Those aren't mutually exclusive.
In all my days, I've never seen a better comment that asked for a "no u."
He’s an evil retard, with an infinite amount of wealth and power, if that’s not scary Indon’t know what is.
