Our only way out of this mess is to work together. We need to see ourselves as a community, and not just a community of common interests, but a community of common agency. We’re a workforce. The way one of us works ends up affecting all of us. As long as one of us is willing to work as a pair of hands, there’s someone out there you can hire to be a pair of hands. If we agree that we work within an ethical framework, as most other professions of our caliber do, then we can elevate not just the type of work we do and how we do it, but also the society which that work ends up affecting.
