This should be good news. If automation can free us from spending two thirds of our waking life on 'the grind' then fuck yeah! Do it!!
It's time for UBI, free healthcare, and free education, to name just a few.

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.

Asking a potentially silly question: why free education at this point?
As a social good or for economic reasons?
Social good more than for economic reasons, since we know definitively that more education isn't required to do work that currently is high-paying.
