Intern=Free labour

By Raechel Gwyn No comments

Raechel Gwyn

It just occurred to me (I can be slow), this bourgeoning meaning of "intern." As I look for a paying job, people who need to hire also need to shield the fact that they either can't or don't want to provide a wage. I just turned down a possible job because I wouldn't accept a free t-shirt.

Then I, again, read a rather involved description for a particular internship, out of curiosity. It wasn't an internship, really. My gut...or my math. I suppose "internship" is the new "non-profit"--for whom?

"Rob Kall's Bottom Up is a revaluation of values, not the empty mouthing of the word 'democracy' that is so common, but the application of belief in popular wisdom to every aspect of life. Actually believing that the views of more people is better, means a new way of thinking about the world that is democratic, feminist, localist, populist, and radically richer than the elitist perspectives that are more common even in the parts of the world that shout the word 'democracy' the most. Here we come to understand both the power of small groups and the upsides to internet crowd sourcing, the potential of nonviolent movements and ways in which the past has not been what we supposed. Don't just read this book; get lots of people to read and talk about it."

David Swanson, host, Talk Nation Radio, author of War No More: The Case for Abolition.
