Poorer Americans work long hours to afford basic necessities. Richer Americans work long hours in pursuit of “the good life” that’s perpetually just beyond their grasp. All of this tedious work is a waste of our precious time and resources.

    Just remember 50 years ago we didn’t have computers or the internet. These things have made us exponentially more productive yet the work week remains the same. People’s relative net worth has gone down in those 50 years 🤔

    Try growing your own food and fuel for cooking and heating. Then you’ll know work.

          Nope; they said fuel for cooking and heating.

          How specifically in a detailed process that a layman can follow do I do that?

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.
