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.

At this point, I fully believe the conspiracy theory that Elon Musk is just a scapegoat/shill who is intentinally destroying twitter because it was a good tool for people to organize against companies and governments.

Those are the motivations of his sponsors (the Saudis etc). He thought it contributed to his trans child’s “woke mind virus” and he definitely threatened to buy it out of rage and then once forced to decided he’d fucking destroy it

I'll buy that as a motivation, but I think he's destroying it because he's a petty bitch who can't handle that he was forced by the courts to do something, namely buy Twitter.

My biggest problem with all the conspiracies is they don't seem to account for his very obvious incompetence.
