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.

"skipping breakfast or eating at home"
Look, McDonald's breakfast is pretty damn good, and is super nostalgic. But holy fuck 1030 cutoff and like $6 for a mass produced, frozen sausage patty, English muffin, and a Kraft single is insane.
Also, I just meal prepped us an awesome breakfast for the next two weeks. Like 15lbs of chunked potatoes, mushrooms, onions, hot sausage slices, and bell peppers, seasoned with Chile powder and garlic butter, oven roasty-toasted to golden brown, and tossed into containers in the fridge.
Then in the morning, I plate a big scoop or so of that and microwave it until it's hot, and fry two eggs with runny yolks, topped with salt and fresh ground black pepper and some hot sauce (like valentina) on the plate. Fork, toast, glass of milk or coffee.
Fuck you, McDonald's. Like 30 meals-worth was only like $35 bucks, and kicks the shit out of most things.
I look forwards to breakfast everyday now.
my local bagel shop sells a fresh bagel on a fresh egg with cheese for $7.
My god that sounds amazing. We don't have bagel places around here and I'd fucking kill for something like that. Also now I'm hungry.
I was always told mushrooms have a limited shelf life after being cooked, 3-4 days.
Good point. I should freeze it all in portions, soon, maybe tomorrow.
The worst feeling is getting food poisoning or even just mild gastric upset and not knowing why.
As I get older I have started listening more to the traditional wisdoms and not eating the pizza that has been out of refrigeration for two days.
Coward, real men like their pizza with biofilms
You shouldn't be keeping food in the fridge for 2 weeks. 4-5 days max. You should immediately freeze it when you cook it. Don't wait a few days before freezing it.
...might let it cool first, then freeze it!
Definitely need to cool it. Even if not freezing. When I worked in restaurants we had a cooling shelf in the walk-in that we had to stir the 40lb batch of ground beef now and then
It is amazing how many people just didn't know these basics...
I thought everyone's mom taught this
But no 🤡
Or just throw it away while also complaining about grocery prices
how do you know when someone abuses animals don't worry they never stop telling you
The irony here, lol. I think you know that the joke usually is told about vegans. In your attempt to flip the script, you end up playing your part perfectly.
Comes into the conversation not looking to participate, makes sure that everyone knows that they are vegan. Doesn't elaborate. Hilarious 10/10 vegan satire. I love vegans, but man are some of you ever easy to laugh at.
If there's a point you're trying to make I, can't tell what it is
The point they were trying to make is meat bad and you should feel bad for eating it. Notice how they took the typical 'how do you know someones a vegan because they tell you" schtick they undoubtedly got hit with and reflect it back on others.
Some people have no sense of pragmatic reality and need some cause to feel good about themselves. The solution for some is to force everyone around them to watch food inc and virtue signal to fill in the void of where a real unique personality + opinion set should be. According to vegans agriculture as a whole is evil and everyone who eats a hamburger is equivalent to a sociopath who tortures animals for fun.
Unfortunately they would have a point about cruelty and inhumane industrial farming practices, which is completely undercut by obnoxious high-horsing and blaming people for buying the hamburgers instead of the industry and lack of even the most basic rights for non-human animals. Fruits and veggie diet is good for you definitely, its a shame that people cant resist the urge to be smug pricks about it.
Go off, king.
I would, but im too busy getting the grill fired up ;)
