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.

Belgium's population grew from 9 to 11 million in 65 years. My wife's country Indonesia grew from 80 to 280 million people in 65 years.

Median net wealth of Belgian is 250k euros and in Indonesia it's 5k euros.

Your perspective is the one that needs to be expanded.

Belgians don't want kids because they don't believe in a god. They have pensions even though they don't have kids.

In Indonesia they are extremely religious, so they think having kids is important. They don't have meaningful pensions, so they need kids to survive.

You're quite mistaken.

We don't have kids because we are financially rewarded to not have kids. I vote against pensions for this reason.
