Ok... so you answered your own question.

According to MIT’s data, a living wage for a single adult with no children is $12.87

I’m not sure, actually. I’m guessing you don’t live in an urban area (so rent is cheap) or have any dependents.

Considering Harvard itself notes that they make $33.8k a year and the union is asking for merely $35k, things are a bit more bleak when considered on annual terms. Granted, the benefits are pretty nice comparatively.

I’m willing to bet Hamilton’s actually familiar with the notion that an endowment funds a university’s operating budget each year (in this case, UC spends 5% of its endowment).

Wait, I take this back. I forgot all about he Hammock District joke. That wins.

False. It’s either:

It’s pretty easy to write off the civil rights record of a discrimination fighting attorney when you’re a white dude blogger in Manhattan.

This was a pretty great pick but he wasn’t “exciting” for gawker, whatever the fuck that means.

What should the Board of Overseers do if the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man attacks the campus? I don’t know, and spending time pondering over the answer would be as wasteful as considering your question. Both are hypotheticals not pertinent to the situation at hand.

Huh. Perhaps that’s why my last sentence read: “The annual amount H’s endowment kicks off toward the operation[al] budget is huge.”

Well, for one, the food service workers are only asking to be paid $35k/year, so paying them $100k would be pretty dumb.

They employ students to swipe other students in, sure. They don’t employ students to don hairnets and braise 200 chicken thighs.

Not only does Harvard have $35 billion, it’s so far ahead of everyone else that it’s laughable (#2 Yale has nearly “only” 2/3 that amount).

Your league is much more literate than mine.

Really? You’d rather have something like Lucas Oil Stadium?

Please, never make the Jim Tomsula Lifehack of the Week ever go away. I don’t care if he fades into obscurity; his lifehacks are a sustaining legacy.

Maybe I did, because I’m just writing stuff. I’m in favor of more housing. I think San Francisco will build more, but I also think that (A) people who live in these neighborhoods will exercise their right, in the democratic process, to have a say in what gets built in there

You contradict yourself. San Francisco is not nearly as dense as it could be, but no, “mandating affordable housing” is not the answer.

When subtweeting Univision isn't enough.
