Work Reform

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.

Late stage capitalism will end like the opening scene of the dark knight; the joker killing every one of his criminal accomplices, one by one, as soon as they have fulfilled their role (their value has been extracted).
It's an apt analogy because all of these capitalists are mentally ill &/or criminals.
Any ideas on ways we can convince Amazon to pay its workers enough to survive?
No clue, I'm gonna go play Paper Mario tho, heard it was inspired by Luigis Mansion lol
There's a brand new Amazon warehouse going in right of the Schoharie exit on I-88 in upstate NY. It's been recently announced that the village will be footing the bill for all the water and sewage.
So after that gets burnt down we need to go round up the town board and beat the shit out of them
drop every Amazon service you use today and advocate for others to do the same
Make something to replace AWS
give me a few billion dollars to buy infrastructure and hire people who know how to do that. otherwise it's going to take a while to get off the ground if I have to start off by selling books online (and I'll still need at least half a million to start).
It's not a few billions anymore. Undersea fiber, datacenters in several countries... It all adds up.
How about nationalize AWS
I don't know, I have a thought and requires a lighter.
General strikes, port blockades, boycotts and other organized actions. Look up iww and read people’s history of United States
Fix this:
- Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Section 162(m)): By capping deductible salary at a million, it paradoxically incentivized companies to shift compensation toward stock options and performance-based bonuses to avoid tax penalties.
They also hired a new CFO for $28 million.

We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn
Burn motherfucker, burn
There should be a cap on how much a single person can make; anything beyond that should be taxed. What a corrupt ass capitalistic shit-hole system.
They get rewarded for impoverishing us. They are barbarians in suits. Raiders and thieves, rapists and murderers, who destroy our lives to enrich their own. There is no innocent rich person.
Well, being a member at Augusta isn't cheap, Andy Jassy gotta pay those billionaire club dues somehow . . .
This is the real american dream. Absolute, unrestricted consumption at the expensive of everyone else. I make my gains on your backs. The land of opportunity my ass.
Anyone familiar with the socio-political environment in Europe preceding World War 1? This is very similar.
How convinient
Bring Back The IWW!
