This election in America was one side saying this to the other and then the other "owning us" by not listening

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.

Very important message.
The investment banker getting paid 200k per year in NYC is still closer to being homeless, than being a millionaire.
If you need to work to live, you are working class.
Some of the working class is underpaid and struggle daily, while some have more money and live fairly easy (until they lose their job). The capitalists owning the companies we work at have nothing in common with us, and they like when we hate each other, instead of them or the system.

They are a millionaire though. It's just that that means nothing anymore.
A million bucks is a million away from zero, but it's 999 million away from a billion.
It's like the old saying goes "a millionaire is still about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire" .
Hey, I too am about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire. I suppose that means I'm a millionaire! Woo hoo
And, unironically, those bankers are all raging capitalists— ever-chasing the end-of-rainbow-pot-of-gold mirage—who fly annually to a pretentious faux-hippy desert festival modelled on communism.
It’s only Class War when we fight back.
Exactly, currently it’s just class genocide/enslavery, with some of the working class applauding it
If one side can unilaterally make it a war, it was already a massacre.
Reminder: they can be killed
Just wait till their get the technology to upload their brain to the internet.
Try killing the internet.
I 100% guarantee that anything like that will actually just scan your brain, create a shitty NPC based on you, and electrocute you while you sit wondering when the upload is going to start.
Where do I sign up?
There are so many fundamental issues to solve before we have that technology.
So many. Like, every single thing required is unsolved, and many of them we can't even see that far ahead in the tech tree from here.
Not on my top five list, tbh, but if thermonuclear war gets pegged down, it might have a shot at making it.
The aliens would have harvested our brains for their sexual experiments long before they let us destroy each other.
I'd let an alien fuck my brain.
We talking like through the ear holes or pulling the whole thing out and rawdogging it.
That signature is not helping the message
What's it mean?
