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.

I used to have to open a fishing pier at 5:30am. A line of angry fisher people at the gate will tighten you up real quick. I let everyone in for free if I was 10 minutes late, but I was more so motivated not to be late.
These were the people who were fishing as a source of food and/or bait for later fishing for food. I got to know them and wasn't late often because that would be shitty. They got to know me and knew I was working 3 jobs and going to college. So, they were sympathetic when it did happen.
Life, man, turns out it ain't all simplistic generational platitudes.
I wish more people saw the world this way.
Every time someone divides an attitudes by generations.
Every time someone divides driving capabilities by make of car.
Every time someone divides work ethic by race.
Every time someone divides action by class.
There are good people and bad people and everything in between and they are not tied to specific demographics.
You can witness a trend, but it does not define anything.
People are just people.
Tesla drivers are shit tho
even before I wanted to translate that over to "Elon's dickriders"
For real though, it's super annoying when people say bs like what you did about things you have a choice over. Dividing by race, bad. Dividing because you decided to get a raised short bed pickup truck with HIDs...well those people chose to be assholes. Same with Matt gaetz supporters of which there are thousands. They chose to support a rapist in multiple elections despite the evidence. I'm cool dividing people up by choices.
In this case parent poster chose to overcommit and the people at his work chose to forgive that. I got no issue with that.
I just can't agree with that. Your choice of car doesn't make you a dick head. Maybe a lot of dick head buy teslas, but so do none dickheads. I've heard the same thing said about audi drivers, and bmw drivers, and mercedes drivers and range rover drivers. There is no neat little box you can put all dick heads in when it comes to what car they drive. There is no venn diagram that would cover this.
So the car you drive doesn't make you a dick head. Being a dick head makes you a dick head.
