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 really wanna go to an event where we're just literally roasting selected billionaires over a fire, eating popcorn as we listen to their screams, and watch their flesh darken as it burns. So whole celebrating how much negative karma is leaving the earth all at one time.
I'm not even kidding. I would literally enjoy physically going to such an event. Bezos and Musk would probably be the stars of the show.
Does Bezos even "do" anything at all? Ever? Or is he just cashing checks while underlings deal with all the "work stuff"?
I mean I would be downright ashamed if a company with my name all over it was looked on this badly.
I get what you're saying but I get weirded out by people who go from "violence is necessary" to glorifying it. I've seen people dying before and I don't think I'd ever find it satisfying to watch any human burning to death.
Justice is one thing but I think there's a lot of sick fucks who practically get off to violence or at least violence like this in theory because they've never seen some horrific shit firsthand.
As much as watching everything literally burn would be exceptionally cathartic, it wouldn't be useful. If you ask me, these CEOs and rich bastards can work X hours a week scrubbing toilets or otherwise contributing to society.
If you refuse to contribute to society cause you were rich and think you're hot shit, then jail. Something like the minimum security prison in Norway where the point is rehabilitation. If you've committed war crimes or premeditated murder or otherwise genuinely can't be offered even that much freedom, then real prison, but still a decent real prison.
Putin and his ilk are a different matter. What was good enough for Mussolini would be just as good for them.
Have you considered working in an abattoir? Might be the job satisfaction you're looking for.
Bezos hasn't been the CEO at Amazon for over three years.
