This is from My Modern Met, an online art publication I have cited here before.
We're looking for applicants who are web-savvy, love all things creative, and want to share their passion with the world. You'll not only get to polish your writing skills, you'll have the opportunity to help build a dynamic digital media company that makes it a priority to stay on the pulse of what's new and exciting. Most of all, we're looking for passionate, motivated people who want to be a part of something bigger.Oy, you're supposed to live on 2-3 hours a day? and all your other side hustles, I guess.
Our writers start working 2-3 hours per day for five days a week (hours increase from there) and will gain first-hand knowledge about working with a top art and culture website. Writers will be paid hourly (with room for growth).
Please Note:
We are accepting international applicants.
We are not accepting applicants who already possess a full time job.
College students? (who aren't already working multiple gigs, naturally) Surely not retirees like me?!? "Stay at home" parents? Hell, even high school students. Cannot think of any other group who might have 2-3 hours a day to write and who have sufficient income for at least basic food, clothing, and shelter.
ReplyDeleteI love to write, but doubt I would ever be "cutting edge" enough for their purposes.
Live? No, you're supposed to be stuck in perpetual debt to seven different credit card companies, be perpetually sleep deprived, be perpetually malnourished due to eating starvation rations, be deprived of all your free time because you spend it commuting between four different jobs, et cetera, et cetera.
ReplyDeleteThat way, you're more susceptible to impulse purchases of junk food and comfort products you don't really need; you buy ready-to-eat meals instead of cooking because you don't have the time or energy; you spend much more on gas commuting between your jobs and home; you get sick more often and thus spend more on medicine and doctor care; you're stressed out all the time, so you'll settle for any kind of mindless entertainment regardless of quality; you don't have enough time to consume entertainment properly, so you'll settle for less / shorter content for the same price...
It's a brilliant system for creating a society full of pliable, profitable customers! It's GREAT for the economy! Think of all the value it creates for shareholders! Plus, the politicians love it too - voters who are too worn out to think are SO much easier to manipulate! They naturally gravitate to names and faces they already know, and tend to take things at face value without really asking deeper questions or thinking for themselves.
Isn't it a lovely maze they've built for the rats to race in?
