If you work, you and your family should have their needs met, aka, we should all be able to help our community have all of our basic needs met

This same worker should also have capital F free health care a house or condo he and his family like or she and her family, or their family, yours or mine

This worker should be able to have paid leave, both vacation and sick.

I’ll do you one better. If you exist you and your family should have their needs met. We have the ability to feed, provide medical care, and house everyone on the planet many times over yet we don’t. I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out why we don’t.

We should put the psychopaths that can’t care about others in a reserve, where they can make their own hellscape, away from normal people.

So we can have a normal society without some insane psychopath arguing about healthcare, because he happens to not need it.

We will see who’s society is better

Digitally, we’ve already done this, and called it LinkdIn!

But somehow we got pulled into having to play their stupid games. :(

Did you ever read “A libertarian walks into a bear”? It’s a non-fiction book about a bunch of libertarians that moved to a small town, and used their new voting bloc to try to bring about their libertarian paradise. It went badly. There were bears.

The author points out how a nearby town that was otherwise very similar. It had prospered during the time libertarians were driving their town into the ground

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
