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.

They worked on a ceasefire to get the hostages released. There is no world where Israel is ever going say "ok just keep our people there and torture them to death or whatever, we don't care". The only way there could be peace would be for the hostages be released.
The US isn't an all powerful entity and the only source for weapons in the world. If the US stopped selling weapons to Israel, Israel would purchase weapons elsewhere. Less advanced weapons, which means less accurate, which means more people die when they do airstrikes on Hamas.
The Hamas propaganda only shows you the aftermath of a battle in a densely populated urban environment. They don't show the Hamas guy firing at the IDF from the window of a building, they only show what happens when the IDF hits back. And remember the whole reason the IDF is in Gaza is because Hamas forcibly took Israelis into Gaza and is reusing to release them because they want this war they tell you is a genocide to continue forever. Hamas can end what they're saying is a genocide at any time by releasing the hostages. Why don't they do that?
Sure, but what combat purpose is it to starve children to death? Destroy hospitals, water treatment and power plants? The IDF is a criminal organization, at this point it doesn't matter who started it.
