Work Reform
10148 readers
280 users here now
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.

Eat. The. Rich.
We can't even get people to go outside and meet live humans for sex anymore, everyone has switched to online apps for dating. People order food and groceries because we learned from Covid we don't need to actually interact with other people.
Does anyone actually expect us to mobilize and topple powerful financial institutions? We have the most comfortable society on Earth in the US. Despite how miserable everyone is, nobody wants to leave their soft chairs and giant computer monitors and immersive video games and discord chat channels where you can mute and block anyone you don't like. The only thing that could possibly change our course at this point would be some transhumanist/singularity nonsense like artificial general intelligence being developed and wrecking the economy.
But that's tech being developed and controlled by the wealthy elite, so my hopes faded long ago.
Maybe someone can make an app, so I can have someone paid at an insultingly low hourly rate to go protest/riot in my place?
already done.
"Crowds on Demand is an American publicity firm that provides clients with hired actors to pose as fans, paparazzi, security guards, unpaid protesters and professional paid protesters.[1][2][3] The company operates in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas,[4] New York City,[1] Washington, D.C.,[5] Iowa, and New Hampshire.[6] "
Theres also "Rent a Family" https://charactersforhire.com/rent-a-family/
That dystopian "future". It's the present, isn't it.
I'm seriously considering rent-a-family. My relatives can occassionally be 'unprofessional' and I see that for a small fee I dont have to put up with that sort of bullshit anymore.
Now that's creative :D But you gotta make sure one buyer = one rioter
2.49 extra for assured personal rioter. Otherwise you'll get the standard service where your rioter may have another riot to attend to first.
Everything is going exactly to plan. You're welcome.
Sorry, the first sentence in your reply is wrong. I've literally spent the last two weekends going out and meeting people. If you don't go outside, that's on you.
Wow, I'm amazing you found this comment I made specifically about you. I've been following you around for weeks trying to find ONE place where you wouldn't see the lies and slander I've been trying to spread about you specifically. Curses, one day I will manage to find a place to tell lies about you where you will never find it.
