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.

I think when one small group holds power, the effects for everyone else are usually shitty.
The issue may be more related to power itself, rather than to those who hold it.
True, except a system that explicitly rewards negative character traits such as greed, ruthlessness, and selfish opportunism will inevitably lead to inherently shitty people gaining and retaining power.

If only the studio didn’t meddle with the project and watered it down from a pg-13 rating
In the end, it was a movie for no one
I really enjoyed it as it was. It's too bad it couldn't have been better, but I still liked it a lot.
You take that last sentence back. I love that movie, cheesy music and all.

Oh I love it…I was talking about the mainstream audience
I loved that movie! It represented what American animation could be if they took their heads out of their asses.
While I love Atlantis and Treasure Planet, they also flopped massively. The thing about unions is a valid point and does suck a lot, but sadly I don't think Disney would have made another film like these anyways.
Take this with a grain of salt because my memory is fuzzy and I just read it in a comment somewhere.
The reason Treasure Plant flopped was because Disney wanted it to fail to use it as an excuse to shift to 3D. They barely marketed the film and released it in November, which meant it would be competing with the Christmas films. And when the movie had won an award, no one was there to receive it cause they weren't expecting it to win anything.
The movie actually used a lot of 3D animation in combination with its traditional 2D animation. I don't think they made a movie fail intentionally to excuse a shift to the very technology said movie employed a lot more than their prior ones. If anything, the knowledge gained during the production helped them for sure.
Damn what are these from? I don't recognize any of these frames but it looks pretty cool
Top is Treasure Planet Bottom Left is Prince of Egypt Bottom right is Atlantis
Treasure Planet. Great movie, highly recommended.
+1 for Treasure Planet, best Disney movie by far and away
Also shout out to Prince of Egypt because I'm pretty sure it's made me question my sexuality more than any other animated media
Looking at it now, the characters aren't really hot, but when I was younger I thought Moses was fine af
Right? Egyptian gender confusion boiled right down.
