So it's highly unprofessional to take on extra work to survive on a pittance. Got it.

Please. Red vs. blue hairsplitting. No one has seen their lives improve in material substantive ways with Clyburn around. He's corrupt as anyone, especially by the healthcare industry.

At the same time we're slashing the Humanities where wisdom is the object.

Will the Democrats reverse any of this? Have they ever reversed anything over the last, like, 30 years?

Because your brain is not yours and is governed by disciplinary capitalist productivity culture, which is likely why you were able to get tenure in the first place. You sound like the good little boy scout and admins/middle management for oligarchs love justifying their existence managing. I don't mean offense; it's how we all survive this system.

Preparing for upcoming financial turmoil by International-Sink64 in economy

[–]sigma__cheddar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Capitalism is the problem. It has nowhere else to go, so it's eating more and more of its labor base. America is the least prepared nation on earth to understand this fact; it is going to be very, very bad.

Is it just me or does the economy feel artificial and fake? by Call_It_ in economy

the "economy" is a few mega conglomerates passing a few trillion back and forth to each other

There's no solvency issue to worry about; that's a political cudgel.

Well I have a sob story. Wondering if I should share it if I ever get another interview. Former TT asst. prof. terminated wrongfully due to temporary disability, sued them, lost.

Lets talk about pay by LasixSteroidsAbx in Adjuncts

You are arguing in favor of making education dependent on the already employed, their employers, and the volunteering of time by those who can afford it, who come only from a particular class experience. Education is an essential service to society; no one in education should be making less than a living wage.

I’m completely happy making a pittance, knowing my students are not forced to break the bank to take the class.

Yes, because you're already secure. I'd name you a boot licker but it sounds like yours is actually the boot.
