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.

It's PR that's working very well but you just don't get to see it. If you read the article, why makes sense. His new album and the associated concert have a fall theme with autumn in the name.
The bland as fuck white-girls and yoga-chick types who love those crappy drinks are also far more likely to listen to this fucker. It's mass appeal for all these future Karens who are now happy that they 1, got their shitty lattes sooner; 2, got it served by the singer who writes all their shitty pop songs; 3, are now aware and have a stronger memory regarding this upcoming tour.
Does he even write his songs?
I looked it up. He writes the words over another guy's music. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/ed-sheeran-lawsuit-new-album-johnny-mcdaid-courteney-cox-1234732638/
To be fair, and I am not comparing the two at all because you can't compare Ed Sheeran with him, but Elton John only writes lyrics too. Bernie Taupin writes most of Elton John's music.
Elton John was the person that came to mind when I read that as well, but it's actually the other way around: Elton John is the composer, Bernie Taupin is the lyricist.
Ain't that the truth, lol.
Whoops.
Said the person who definitely went to Starbucks regularly before the whole union thing.
