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.

Damn, get off that billionaire dick and explain how that helps humanity when we are dealing with fascism, starving children and climate change. These fuckers aren't financing shit. Elon gets government contracts. Like how wrong can you be?
Pretty much any engineering problem will, if solved, create some amount of transferrable advancement that will help humanity in other areas. It's why technological progress is so connected to war. It's not like they're taking money from their feeding children fund and spending it on dick measuring contests in space; the problem is that they had no intention of feeding starving children in the first place.
Well last time when we had space race we got: gps, medical innovations, lighter materials, knowledge about weather helping things like hurricane predictions, better fuel, new methods to preserve food, cordless tools, memoryfoam.
I dont know how those helped humanity at all? Like insulin pumps? What a fucking waste, right? /s
I much rather have the billionare competing with rockets than that they compete with yachs.
Best thing would be if they payd taxes too in same relation to normal people
The last space race was a government funded effort, not personal projects meant to enrich and entertain rich people who view morality as a defect. These projects aren’t meant to advance science and research, and humanity’s well-being is the last thing they give a shit about.
You’re either not being serious or you aren’t smart enough to understand anything below headline-level detail.
Dont be a moron. Last space race was not some humanitarian deed from goverments. It was just a one front of the cold war.
Do you really thing that any progress there is going to happen in robotics or anything else wont be commerialized and after some time normalised?
Do you really think biggest capitalists in the world would not try to capitalize on every single innovation they might get on doing there.
You are doubting other peoples inteligence when you dont seem to have any clue how world works. I guess its just easier to think everybody is one dimensional cartoon villain.
I have no love for Bezos or Musk, and they definedly are not saints, or even care about normal people, but they are not going to just sit on some breaktrough technology if they can sell it.
