totally valid concern but we have several layers of security + we don't share data with anyone. if you want to talk directly to the person who put them in place, he's happy to chat and show the work.

4. The right to organize. Every right we have came from people banding together, which employers could fire you for. After the strike waves of the early 1930s, the 1935 Wagner Act cemented your right to form a union and made firing you for it illegal.

3. Overtime, a wage floor, no more child labor. Before 1938 there was no wage minimum, no overtime, and kids worked 10 to 16 hour days in mills and mines. Years of strikes through the Depression forced the Fair Labor Standards Act, which set all three at once.

2. The 8-hour day "Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, eight hours for what you will." On May 1, 1886, over 100,000 workers walked off the job for it. Decades of that pressure is why the 40-hour week became federal law in the 1930s.

1. The weekend In the 1880s most workers were doing 10+ hour days, six days a week. Unions led by the Knights of Labor pushed back, and when the first Labor Day moved to a Monday in 1884, it gave most workers their first two-day weekend.

Labor Day and May Day emerged from the movement for a shorter workday in industrial America
Both holidays arose at the same time, nearly 150 years ago, in the midst of an explosive labor uprising.

what does it look like to operate from an abundance mindset within left spaces? what would your relationships look like if you chose actions and words from a place of abundance instead of scarcity? how does buying into capital structures affect our definitions of abundance?

it's week 2 of LL bookclub (catch up with week 1 on our IG & TT!) www.instagram.com/p/DZJOyRLqGt3/ "abundance mindset" goes so much deeper than manifesting. we're looking at the concept of acting from abundance - not mindless over-consumption and endless options - as we build out the app.

What we already have: • robust security and screening process for users • a non-swiping based match system • events • platonic connections (think Bumble BFF) • multiple ways to define your beliefs/values, sexuality, gender, and dating style

We're doing this together. That means we *want* feedback. If there's something you've always wanted (or wish would disappear) from a dating app, we wanna know.
