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.

I'm worried about my water possibly being shut off because I've been too sick to work, and I can't afford a doctor because I don't have health insurance because I'm self-employed. I'm self-employed because my health is too unstable to keep a "normal job". So I'm stressed which makes me get sick more often.

If I had money, I'd not have to worry about the basics of living and survival.

Money absolutely can buy happiness, if you're burdened by the stress of not having any.
