White House interns will be paid for the first time, in a change designed to make its internship program more accessible to lower-income students, the Biden administration said on Thursday.
If the average white house intern is as much of a ghoul as I’m imagining maybe they should just be unpaid interns forever
eh. the people doing this stuff don't need money. minimum wage, unpaid, $20 an hour... it makes no difference to the cohort that in the circles of power.
also, while they are closely related under capitalism, power does have value independent of money. by that I mean that my material conditions, for example, benefit disproportionately from the family power I was born into compared to the amount of money I have. it's weird and tough to explain. like, there's no logical reason that connections would put food on the table, but it somehow sort of does.
To be clear, all workers should be paid fairly, on principle. I'm just not losing sleep over White House interns, and they aren't losing sleep themselves.
