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.

No it's people to stop ripping them off. We don't need more millionaires. We need our money to go further.
Therapy would be great... if I had money.
$10,000 would change my life entirely
The only and one time i had 4 digits in my bank account was after the covid stimulus checks.
Check your local social services department, you might have a mental health provider in your area that's government funded. You likely won't see a therapist right away, or often, when you begin the process, but it's better than nothing at all.
Alternate plan: do away with people's need to have money to live by dealing with the broken system that puts them in that position.
Hate (not really) to say this but people kinda had it right with the mobs of grab and goes, set up a day for everyone to get their tariff refunds. Money only has value if we let it, I contribute to society wtf do I gotta starve go broke for, anything like right to healthcare?
Maybe by extension it's time.
Having had kids I've really learned that I need time to just fritter away. Down time. Not for chores or for date night or for my hobbies or for tv.
Just time to do nohing important and watch the day while away.
Sadly I need a lot of this time. Or maybe I'm just running a huge deficit so it seems like I need a lot.
To quote the goblins from World of Warcraft, "time is money, friend!"
