Bad dems this arguement again and again.

Regardless if Clinton or Trump wall street bankers would get many high positions in the government especially for regulatory agencies.

It's fine as long as they're on our team!!!

I think Bernie probably would have accepted just because he'd take defeating Trump that seriously.

He would have never, ever been asked.

I'm very glad that I very rarely see people use it anymore. Of all the things to attack trump with, a mildly xenophobic insult has to be the most ignorant of them all.

It's fine when we do it, you see.

and if the intern's not secure they're likely keeping his/her mouth shut about their harrowing existence for fear that someone will think they're "whining"

I literally know two different people who graduated from the Carter school of journalism who have no idea why someone close to me who also graduated didn't just take an unpaid times internship for 2 years like they did post grad. In their minds it's no biggie to live with no income in NYC for 2 years, until you finally get a 30k/yr job in manhattan that lasts another 2 or 3 years before you make real "live in manhattan" money. Why yes, one of the people comes from an oil family in the middle east and the other comes from a tech magnate in SK, meanwhile my friend comes from a single mother who works as a receptionist in one of the poorest cities in the nation, but in their mind this is just 'mental barriers'.

I know a Stern grad who is super 'woke' who comes from hyper old money. He wanted to pay for his Harvard grad degree by working for it, rather than having his hyper rich parents pay for it. So instead, he found a family friend who owned a hedge fund that Goldman Sachs works with, got a job at Goldman making 160k a year, bought a house in hoboken after a few months using his salary as a down payment, and after two years, sold the house for a profit to pay for his harvard degree, and is going there now.

This guy compares this experience to peers in harvard who went to state universities and came from poverty because he 'worked his way up' to pay for it. He wouldn't say it's the same, but he definitely says "I get where you're coming from".

His parents own a % of costa rica and during this entire time he was travelling around the world on weekend trips, but from his perspective he cast aside the shackles of privilege to prove he can do anything on his own.

Please NMS this poo poo holy hell.

I gotta tell you, I never realized how loving poor my family grew up until I met these fucks. To me being rich meant your family eats out (even fast food) at home when it's not anyone's birthday. And mind you, we were white working poor, not even the kind of working poor who also have racism on top of it.

Then I met people who legitimately thought that you were poor if you didn't travel outside the country each year, or if you *gasp* rented.

The internship issue with journalism is going to be our generations Achilles heel. Outside a very small select group of millennials, if you read someone's article chances are their parents have real real money. Granted, I'm sure it's always skewed rich, but now with the massive unpaid internship requirements in select locations like DC and NYC, I have to imagine it's a whole different beast where the only people able to do these programs are those with family paying rent and bills for years straight.

We'll have dozens of pundits collectively asking "Wtf is a fish fry" as we collectively think of creative ways to get rid of them.

Hell, as a first-gen college student even paid internships were out of my reach. I hosed up out of high school and didn't return to college until my mid-20s and graduated a few months back. Having to pay my own insurance was crippling (especially after one particular rate hike) and essentially locked me out of internships because the poo poo-rear end pay wouldn't be able to keep up with living costs in a different city (because there are no jobs in my major where I'm at) + insurance, and I couldn't afford to eat any kind of loss. I adored asking other students at my student organizations how they dealt with some of these things because the answer was always either "I or my family knew someone in the area I could live with for free for the duration" or "parents handled it."

Other stuff fed into this, of course - I'm still not sure if going to community college first to get my brain going again was a good idea. It might have cut my final loan amount in half, but when I transferred I was hilariously behind in my major's curriculum and couldn't even dream of an internship until I'd finished my junior year.

College loving sucks when you have no money and no guidance.
