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.

As I understand it, it's the effect of a number of policy decisions intended in the surface to stabilize the economy. They stopped approving minimum wage hikes, they accepted a higher rate of unemployment due to factory automation, etc. Also, the difference between worker and executive compensation has grown tremendously. image

okay, yes, obviously it's being stolen and the only solution will come when the last owner is hanged with the entrails of the last enforcer, but can we still have a crossover fic where holmes and shaggy expose capitalism with wacky hijinx, then holmes figures out what's in scooby snax and gets addicted to them?
