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.

A part of a tree falling on your windshield.
Seriously, that's what it ended up costing me, and I did part of the body work needed to be able to fit a new windshield in right. If I hadn't kept the tools around, that would have been another 500.
Mind you, the 500 I did pay out included some other body work I just couldn't physically do. The glass and installation of the glass was "only" 150 ish (can't remember what the tax was).
The one before that, that was barely under 500 was the AC unit for the house freezing up and fucking the compressor.
And 500 is a single emergency. You get hit by multiple, and you're fucked .
Had a tree limb fall during a storm and crush my wife's car roof. That was an f.u. moment.
