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'm shocked they couldn't find a real picture of people smiling about this

WWIII should just be the 0.1% vs everyone else. This isn't an issue with borders.

IMHO it won't be like a world war. The last time something like that happened was monarchs gradually giving way to representatives.

Capitalism is extremely wasteful, filled with bullshit jobs, so a well organized democracy could do much better. We'll out-compete them.

How is there not more protesting about this? Greeks used to be really good at that.

And they can't just say no? What's twisting their arm?

Employment, a paycheck, and feeding their family
