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.

wouldn't it be cheaper to just pay your employees appropriately?
Probably, but that would make them appear weak at the monthly Supervillain Club meeting, can't have that!
I thought you were joking. But you're not.
Fuck, why can't this be fictional? And their only retort will be similar to "from my point of view, the jedi are evil".
Why is it that every time I see something evil it’s followed by “Evil McBastard will be speaking at a Goldman Sachs conference.”
Because while it's an exaggeration to say that money is the root of all evil, it's true that obsession with money at the expense of everything else is the root of most of the worst evil. And that's where Goldman Sachs comes in, wearing a suit sewn from the calloused and otherwise abused skin of poor people.
Figuratively, of course.
Yeah it was kind of a rhetorical question. I already knew the answer.
I know, but felt like elucidating nonetheless 😁
You did it well my man
Thanks 🙂
The actual scripture says "the love of money is the root of all evil", which seems pretty accurate to me.
Yeah I know and agree. I did some needless paraphrasing to make absolutely sure that everyone knew exactly what I was talking about lol
It's not always about money, sometimes it's about control. Look at companies dragging overperforming WFH employees back to the office...
