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.

You're doing great! More people should be like you.

Voting for a difference, but the status quo stays the same because everyone here is being fed the same sweet talk by a government that has said on the record that they are not interested in building new housing while there is an ongoing shortage

This is a hard fight, but the end goal is just to keep working on persuading these people. Power happens locally.

Asking people on an online internet forum what they are doing in their community, in an elitist condescending tone, does nothing to further this IMO

Strong disagree. Online memes are not action, and through action we fix problems. If even one person stumbling by becomes more active, it's worth calling out the people who are not.

No one's getting involved because you're being an asshole online. You're high on the smell of your own shit.

The Velcro thing hit a little close to home, eh?

It's okay, I'm for raising taxes to pay for you.
