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.

Semi related for all the programmers, and makers of online services, and similar providers, doing stuff on their own: nobody is going to care about your obeying regulations , compliance and rules about your thing until it gets big enough.
Obviously avoid some things! But that list is very small. And for that there is the dark web which has its own rules.
But all the other stuff ( usually legit ordinary stuff) can be safely ignored until that site or service is more than a one person show , or never, whichever comes first.
Usually people who have good ideas do not have much money, and many are intimidated by this or that law or regulation which the rich and well connected use to prevent more competition .
If one gets to that point the regulations are starting to have teeth, then that is a sign of success. And most probably profits, which can be used to fix up the service to comply. Or shut down and do the next idea
