Unionize this
Jeff Nolan is spot on about the singleminded victim complex held by the bloggers at the YearlyKos convention who are calling for a bloggers’ union. This need to be babied is INSANE:
“Blogging is very intense - physically, mentally,” she said. “You’re constantly scanning for news. You’re constantly trying to come up with information that you think will mobilize your readers. In the meantime, you’re sitting at a computer and your ass is getting wider and your arm and neck and shoulder are wearing out because you’re constantly using a mouse.”
As I often hear people say: We’re all sick, but some of us are sicker than others. Yeesh. Jeff says:
I was thinking that if I joined a blogger union I could finally get some leverage against my boss (aka “the Man”) for a decent wage, get some health care, workplace breaks, and so on… yeah, I think I should be required to pay myself a basic living wage and hold myself accountable for providing myself orthopedic home office furniture.
Seriously, I wonder what these people will do if it ever does dawn on them that “the Man” doesn’t exist.
