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.

This reads like the wealthy realizing, in real-time, that the poor can't spend money they don't have, more than anything else. Like, no shit, dude.
Use your privileged position to make actual change if you care so much. He doesn't though, so he's not going to. Instead, he'll make sure we all know that we can get an entire combo for only $5. Wow! Truly a hero of the down-trodden, this fucking guy. I'd love to be proved wrong, but we all know where this is headed. His virtue signaling doesn't change that, just like it doesn't change that stunt he pulled with potus and all that it so clearly represented. Just more mealy-mouthed lies from another worm in a suit's all it is.
If only someone warned them about this!
Yeah, that's like, the most classic of Marxism
Pretty sure Adam Smith and Karl Marx both understood that one
collapsed inline media
Even Henry fucking Ford understood that
And he was a goddamned Nazi.
I think a lot of capitalists would believe the two to be mortal enemies. I suspect that they would enjoy debating their ideas over a cup of joe and tea.
Gone are the days of well educated elites. Now we have the scourge that is the putrified remains of ruling class’s shit.
Enlightened self interest? How about unchecked greed and moral bankruptcy instead?
Yeah, Ford was horrible, but that's one thing that's reasonable about Fordism. He knew that if he payed his employees well enough then they'd have money to spend. I don't know how the idiots who are wealthy today don't get that, but they assume their wealth is infinite and comes from nothing.
