if only these people didn't pick and choose excerpts from an adult fiction novel in order to justify ruining other peoples' lives.

Work Reform
12719 readers
2355 users here now
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.

Luke 12:27-28
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not [a]arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
That bible?

Cool, so he follows the bible and is saying people should be working just as much, or little, as him, right? RIGHT!? What a joke.
I remember hearing about journalists as a kid, the ones who would actually ask questions and investigate. Not just reguritate whatever word vomit these troglodytes spew.
Any politician who publicly states that their religion should be the basis of any law should immediately be [redacted] multiple times in the face with a 12 gauge [redacted]
think biblical, on a cross, crucified.

Biblically, tho.
Biblically, slavery was acceptable and part of the gospel.
You say that as if that's not what the regressive actively want to return.
Biblically, all sorts of fucked up stuff was common.
I wish he had black lung instead of just his employees.
Puritanical work ethic bullshit coming from the mouth of someone with hands that have never known callouses.
Fuck his shitty religion; he can shove that fairy tale book up his ass. I don't give a fuck what "biblically" we are supposed to do.

Obviously he misspoke. He meant to say “you”.
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome millionaire?
You first.
Who the fuck cares what the Bible says? I'm under no obligation to live my life guided by fairy tales someone else believes in. If you want to be dumb enough to fall for that, be my guest, but don't use it to justify immoral behavior.

Awesome. But. It every job gets you healthcare benefits. And not every job pays enough to afford healthcare through ACA. So fuck off.
Edit: should read, “But not every job…”
I've worked hard labor, while either:
not being provided healcare (many chain stores keep you at 34-36 (I forgot the exact amount) hours a week so you are as close to full time as possible while still being technically part time, or they give you 10 hours a week, no bennies offered either way.)
being offered cheap healthcare that covers nothing with $9000 deductible,
and decent healthcare I couldn't afford, $80 a week, I was that broke (childcare+rent is like paying 2 rents), but still had the $5000 deductible and copays.
We work, and we still don't get healthcare.
Well, not federal anyway. My state does okay, but it is easy to be in the gap of not qualifying for state medical, yet still unable to afford employer insurance that may or may not cover necessary care.
I'm assuming that's a typo, and you don't really think every job has benefits.
iOS strikes again.
Legally, you're supposed to do your fucking job and get America such good healthcare it makes Europe blush. Not die on camera in the middle of a photoshoot before your mouth can fully form your war crimes.
