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.

I'm an aerospace engineer, and my role is critical to the success of our project. Actually, I haven't worked a professional job where that wasn't the case. You're not going to change my mind about how our society is structured. We've all been duped into participating in a system that is pushing us to extinction, and it's insane
I could argue that we'd get by without planes. There are many much more environmentally friendly modes of travel.
Now you tell me how we get by without electricity, especially from sources that are environmentally friendly.
We got by without electricity for thousands of years.
Your being facetious and not arguing in good faith.
We could get by in our modern lives with very little impact to the average persons life with no planes.
I'm not being facetious. And I don't work on planes. We lived without electricity until the early 20th century.
This argument is quite pointless and not really going anywhere
