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.

I am a lot more skeptical of how high a "minimum wage" could even be considering the further automation of even "skilled" fields at this point. Which is why I am a strong advocate for Universal Basic Income to decouple survival from labor.

But if you are fighting the minimum wage fight: At least fight for something that would actually cover cost of living.
