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.

Money solves existential dread.

It absolutely doesn't... If you're inclined to suffer from existential dread, and you remove your financial concerns, you just get the same feeling from other things in your life.

I agree I should've written it removes financial existential dread.

Without financial troubles though you're left with just plain neuroticism. Sure it would be applied elsewhere, but you can live with it or go to therapy.
