A Tall, Cold Glass of Perspective

“Hey, everyone criticizing UCB? I took like 6 classes for free thanks to an internship and have performed countless times without paying a dime. There are actual injustices in the world worth talking about and this isn’t one of them. The minimum wage in this country is $7.25 an hour and you want $20 for 5–10 minutes worth of dick jokes for a crowd of 30 people? Grab a tall, cold glass of perspective and drink it down already. You’re being an asshole.”

— That is Billfold pal Lindsay Katai, in her unique and excellent way, reacting to an NYT piece criticizing UCB for not paying performers.
