    I mean. They know best.

    After all, there are tons of them and only a few of us right. Not like being a billionaire is a mental illness rooted in hoarding or anything like that. They’re totally stable and normal. Just look at all of the vocal billionaires in the world, they are always saying sensible and relatable things.

    Power makes you awesome, absolute power makes you absolutely awesome! No side affects!

      Eh, I’d rather a billionaire weigh in. I don’t trust the opinion of a lowly pleb.

    Luckily, once you push enough people hard enough, you end up with an angry army. Look back at the history of anti union efforts and how many ended up with the workers striking in multiple uses of the word.

      Also look back on the history of the French Revolution and how many aristocrats literally lost their heads.

    Is there anything for us to do about this? The fact this isn’t instantly dismissed is scary and insane.

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.
