      Let’s knock this one out of the way now: despite what people at the mises institute would have you think, not a lot of couples divorce because of bitter arguments on the convertibility of the dollar to gold.

      The divorce rate increase since 1960 is related to the no-fault divorce laws passing in the US Before that, if a couple went to a court and said “we hate each other, grant us a divorce, please” the judge could legally say “fuck you, you’re still married, work it out”.

      Ah a breath of fresh air about this bs website. The gold standard won’t fix your economic woes, much less your marital ones

      “That’s a bad source. So anyways, here’s a Reddit link.”

        Would you like me to buy a domain for $10/yr and copy and paste it onto there for you, would that make it seem more legitimate somehow?

          You could link the blog the Reddit post links to.

            Fair point, will keep that in mind. For anyone else allergic to clicking Reddit links, here’s the blog the author also posted the content to:

        Reddit is an unreliable source but not to be dismissed just because it is reddit. There is a higher chance of having a good source from reddit than from randomwebsiteabouttopic.com.

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.
