Wanted: Deputy Inequality Editor at New Republic

Dana Mathewson

From Power Line. Do you remember the New Republic? https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/06/another-own-goal-by-the-left.php

A brief taste:

The highlighted part, 29.5 hours a week, is just short of the 30 hours that under law require you to offer benefits, as the ad makes explicitly clear. Some inequality, no? Maybe the management wanted this "inequality editor”—excuse me, that’s "deputy” inequality editor to you, mister!—to have that old "new journalism” feel by suffering actual inequality with the other non-deputy fully-benefitted editors on staff at The New Republic (a former magazine).

In the age of social media, you can imagine how long this lasted:

A word from Tim:


Reminds me of the old Monty Python Dennis Moore sketch; he stole from the rich and gave to the poor until the poor were living in opulence and the rich were impoverished. In the end he said "this distribution of wealth is trickier than I thought" and he holds up a coach and makes the occupants trade each other for what they lack.
