    Really? Jail?

    Fuck treatment I guess?

    And no, unfortunately, that’s not an unpopular opinion.

        Have you looked into what jail in the USA actually is at all?

        And what happens when they get out? Without a safety net or plans? They go right back to using and being on the streets. It’s not a solution, it just kicks the bucket down the road while extracting forced labor from them.

            Show us how often your car gets broken into and prove it’s not some neighborhood kid and you left the door unlocked.

              Why is everyone on the side of the drug addict meth heads?

                I find the largest virtue signalers are the ones who’ve never lived in a neighborhood with them.

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.
