    I’ve never met a person who was both into Ayn Rand and also rational.

      even Ayn Rand didn’t particularly like Ayn Rand,

      not to say she was rational of course.

        That sounds pretty rational of her.

      I was into Ayn Rand in high school and in retrospect I guess I’d say that, given the things I thought were important, I was rational. But certainly my values weren’t quite…I dunno…human?

      I’ve read all the main books and think they’re fucking hilarious. Does that count?

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.
