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.

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 ;)
