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.

Please explain why people who live in the suburbs are not humans. Try to do it without being a fascist. This should be interesting.
scientifically human. But suburbanites are primarily the boss class and not the working class. The two classes have nothing in common. The members of the boss class often act incredibly fake, hence my intentional choice of the phrase "real people."
In a lot of cities, the suburbs are the only place people can afford to buy houses, so that simply isn't true.
Where is this true? Europe? New York (which is just Europe but claiming to be in America)
No, the U.S. Most city cores are far more expensive than the suburbs if you want to buy a home. Look on Zillow for comparable homes if you don't believe me.
Also, how is New York "Europe but claiming to be in America?" Did they get universal healthcare and subsidized college education when I wasn't looking?
