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.

Is it sarcasm?
Actually not sarcasm. I literally was on medication and then I got a good job and I don't need it anymore. I'm mildly sure I still have depression but I'm much happier in my life and nowhere near risk of self-harm anymore.
I mean, SSRI's are sometimes known to permantantly fix the brains serotonin levels after a limited period of application, so it might've still been the drugs (Or a combination of both).
Cool that you're doing good, tho.
^why is always the furries with the high paying job...^
My best guess is because furries in general are very into STEM fields and those happen to pay a lot of money. There's also a high correlation between being a furry and being on the autism spectrum, so if your special interest happens to be STEM-related then it's cheat codes for big money and being great at your job. Furries have a ton of correlated attributes, e.g. 80%+ of us are queer, and they're very interesting as a social phenomenon. I hope someone someday figures out what causes furries, because it's more complicated than nature or nurture.
