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.

Dude that's not how that works. The US is giving physical items for the most part that equals that cost and we already have wasted the budget on them to help pay for rich people that stay rush by making weapons.
Also it's practically a loan that should Ukraine win the US will use them to be their next golden civilization and make the capitalists every red cent back of.
But yeah should we spend less on military upfront and put it back into internal issues like teacher salary. Fuck yeah. But also we need way more taxes for that to really amount to much. It's 2 prong of not enough and shitty spending habits. Hip hip hooray but I would never think we should regret trying to help people being killed
