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.

So because the generations before them made the wrong choice, they have as well?
If my kids live with my my whole life I am A-OK with that.
I'm not punishing younger generations, I'm saying that they're even more screwed than previous generations, so they'll still need to work hard... it just won't get them any luxuries.
You might be, but not everyone wants that, especially in homes where there is no separation (like no basement apartment). That could be a nightmare for both parents and the adult child.
I think you're agreeing with each other, except that no one in this thread actually thinks working hard will bring you anything in this day and age.
I don't think working hard these days will bring you anything except regrets later and life, and maybe put food on the table.
I... Yeah? We're agreeing with each other? What's the argument?
