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 is big time misinformation.
This is looking at the current and forgetting how hard the billionaire worked to get where they are over many decades.
Only time this is accurate is if they are a trust fund kid that is draining the funds and not adding back to society.
For the purposes of those reading this, if your goal is wealth through capitalism, you need to ignore them anyways.
TL/DR: You need to hustle but do it in your own business, not building someone else’s. Just prepare for 16 hour work days for little pay for at least a couple years to get the business off the ground.
