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.

2008 2, the next "once in a lifetime" financial crisis.
Once in a lifetime stuff happens literally all the time.
If you look at every decade in history there’s some sort of crisis or major event going on.
I think it was fermi who said the odds of some specific truck having a specific license plate he saw are minuscule, so it’s remarkable!
Anyways, I’m just tired of this “once in a lifetime crisis” meme. It’s been beaten to death at this point.
Shit sucks and that’s life, unless you were born during a few brief and rare moments in history.
Yeah, seeing than one truck isn't remarkable. But when you see that unique truck again, then it's significant.
Like 100-year floods. Seeing that one truck once a year? Unremarkable. When you start seeing it far more often than you have before? Something changed.
