APOCALYPSEFUCK is Shostakovich says

ASSHOLES! Why aren't they flipping shacks and helping the economy?

I think we should deport them to Guantanamo Bay

Don't those interns know how lucky they are, plenty of people would PAY for the pleasure of being slave labor.

Are there no prisons?

They should be happy for their unpaid training to be corporate toadies and that the Gawker's executives aren't doing their best to drive shareholder value.

If the Gawker had gotten with the program they'd be _charging_ kids' parents for the privilege of internship.

Too many educated young people and too few unpaid internships mean that companies are profiting from arbitrage between the two.

For profit companies have a fiduciary duty to their share holders to cut out the middlemen and have young employees pay for the privilege of gaining experience there.

Let freedom ring!

For profit companies have a fiduciary duty to their share holders

IG Farben had a fiduciary duty to their stockholders to be the exclusive provider of Zyklon B, just as Siemens had a fiduciary duty to nail down the contracts for crematorium supplies.

But, hey, they were final solution providers, if you will.

IG Farben would also have been remiss in their fiduciary duty to shareholders had they shut down their synthetic rubber plant in Auschwitz, given the unbeatable labor costs. It is to the credit of management that they maximized shareholder value.

Look on the bright side. It's a good entry point for fucking their way to the top. It seems to have worked in Hollywood since the 1920's.

They don't have a case, CNN has done stories upon stories of the job duties, qualifications, responsibilities, and most important the pay, for YEARS.

Unpaid internships at for profit companies amount to nothing more than corporate slave labor.
