On Some Summer Interns
Haha I see what yr doing. But it makes no sense to press the "money doesn't matter" button in defense of the corporate structure not paying its entry level workers . . . as a company, the more unpaid & uninsured workers, the larger the margin for profitability -- the more money the company gets to devote to other things, like buying stuff. WHoo HOoo! Party time!

And you're wrong. The amount of money you pay people is at least as important as how you treat them. This isn't a fucking hippie commune, asshole. People don't feed themselves on happy workplace vibes. Put down "The Secret" -- it's poisoning your mind. It's a workplace and people work because they get paid so they can pay rent and buy food. This has been the case since slavery was abolished. Otherwise all you get are people who can afford to give you their time. (And they obviously suck because if you're going to work for free, at least do it for a non-profit organization!)
Take all that touchy-feely managerial-seminar bullshit and shove it up you ass(hat) and fucking PAY your employees. Nobody is working for you just because you buy Krispy Kreme onec a week, fucker.

Asshat? ASS HAT? Is that like a human ass as a hat? Is the ass still attached, or has it been cut off skinned and tanned? Or is it something else, like a hat that donkey wears? So many questions . . .

Of course, we are talking about The New York Times here, home of the "What would one million dollars buy you in Wisconsin" real estate articles. Whiny little NeoLiberal Brown grads are the future of the NYT. They must be nurtured and paid attention to.

I was thinking the same thing. If you don't even pay peanuts, you don't even get monkeys. So these people who use unpaid interns should quite bitching about the quality of their labor as justification for not paying for these positions. You get what you pay for.

Wayne Coyne did this years ago. But to his credit he did it in the low-income hood where he grew up .... in Oklahoma City.

No rough neck would wear a hat like that unless he was a flaming gay rough neck going to "Saddle Tramps" to join an all-male line-dancing contest.

I keep waiting for the show to stop preaching. It's the old telling vs. showing thing. To much tell; not enough show.

If that playlist were any whiter it would be accepted to a members-only yacht club.

With some people I prefer to rub my middle finger under my ball sack beforehand and then tickle the palm during the handshake.
