I’m currently funded by IKEA and looking to get a raise; my LinkedIn antifa group says it’d help if I had a competitive offer.

    I’m being funded by penguins. I don’t know why, I don’t even like mackerel that much but these fuckers swam from Antarctica, up the Mississippi, up a few tributaries, to deliver more fish than I know what to do with. So I can’t tell them to fuck off and that I already am on their side. That’d just be mean. So anyways, anybody want some fish?

  • Sorry, guess I’m scabbing on you all because nobody pays me, I just do it for the love of the game.

    I did, long ago, dream of exiting the rat race so I could fulfill my dream of being a left-wing demagogue getting paid to spit fire in the faces of the powerful. Alas, I had no idea how to get started, then I read something by Nathan J. Robinson, the most prolific socdem essayist ever, where he said all his work gets him about $15K in profit a year, and I concluded that my dream would not come to pass. Man is at least 10x more prolific than I could be, writes less confrontational and therefore more accessible and publishable stuff, and is the editor and owner of a magazine. All for not enough to live on in any big city? Shit, the problem is that the left is the side of the people who don’t have money. Only way to make a good living doing politics is to work for the right wing which I obviously couldn’t so because while I may be a spineless cuttlefish, I still have a hard aragonite core that cannot bend and betray my principles.

    I’m funded by Big Small, the lobbying group for those people who sell hand made crafts on the sidewalk.

    Tell them I offered a whole $5 more. If that doesn’t get management to scramble for a budget extension, nothing will.
