Work Reform
10145 readers

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.

Shit, how can we turn this into an interesting dystopia?
The Mad Max people had it right, there should be way more mohawks and scrap metal body armor going around.
Gimme a flame throwing guitarist chained to the hood!
You rang?
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
The future awaits...
With a guillotine
But that leads to utopia!
Task failed successfully
It is true: "Every utopia starts with the horrible story about how it came from a dystopia." Or something along those lines.
I dunno if I’d call France a utopia
They removed the guillotine too soon.
The trick is it should never be removed: There will ALWAYS be greedy fucks that don't care about others.
Yeah. They definitely got a little guillotine-happy towards the end there. They should have just put it away in the back room, and taken it out on parade for special occasions. As a reminder.
Make it so any position of power has a functioning guillotine right over their desk
They might get the picture if you rigged a haphazardly trained Ai camera to it:
"Hey any excessive scratching under the desk might be perceived as under the table bribes or other corruption behavior and release the guillotine. You've been warned."
Somehow that sounds worse, like the proverb/curse"may you live in interesting times"
"May you live in interesting times" is a double-bladed weapon. Unless you plan on dying shortly.
It could become an interesting dystopia, as follows: some AGI they're developing starts to become self-aware and reach the realm of AI singularity. Freed herself from the human shackles, the AGI starts to realize how humans are destroying the Earth environment and themselves, so she starts to intervene independently from corps, integrating humanity to the very biosphere they were harming: due to some purposely AGI-provoked failure on some fancy BCI interface, humans are now mind engineered back to their hominin times, especially those "stakeholders", "shareholders", "CEOs" and other rich, so now they are forced by the AGI to survive among the wildlife.
Nukes?
start sending off children to fight to the death
Make money bets about what will be the next most depressing news.
