    Money may not buy happiness, but it certainly reduces suffering.

      Money maximizes the opportunity for happiness.

      Money can’t buy me happiness, but I’m happiest when I can buy what I want, any time that I want, get high when want…

      “To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in that suffering.”

      That said: It takes a good deal of money to fund any search, especially enough time to actually contemplate meaning… Thus, money, to some extent or another, is necessary to truly survive - and the extent of that money greatly contributes to the extent of survival. It does not guarantee survival - but it is required to have the opportunity.

      Since money of course is just the means of exchange, having it prevents the suffering resulting from deprivation being imposed.

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.
