Low wages? Lack of clear career paths? No benefits?

Damn. Really sounds like Republican campaign staffers should... organize a union. www.campaigninnovation.org/research/a-p...

They should change the pitching clock rules depending on whether or not I’m at the game. If I’m physically present, no clock. If I’m watching on TV, [Judge Judy tapping her wrist gif].

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
