WORK?!
Maynard G. Krebs had an aversion to it and 28 year old Politico reporter Mike Elk seems to think too much of it is demanded of him. One big difference is that while Krebswas a free thinking spirit, Elk's solution is regimental union solidarity of a style that went out of date over 60 years ago. Sorry, Mike, but it is hard to picture you being beaten down by the Pinkerton police of the bosses or living on slave wages when you are well paid at Politico which, luckily for you, tolerates (and probably laughs at) your organized labor obsessions. To get an idea of just how laughably delusional Elk is as to how much is demanded of him, check out the hilarious quote for the ages that he has left us:
"I can’t work the kind of hours I did when I was 24."

A Politico reporter rubs his Little Boy Wobbly Super Decoder Ring and finds himself battling laughable labor oppression.

LOL, Maynard G Krebs? The dude is showing his age. I suspect Maynard G was one of the first to say, W-O-R-K, was a four letter word.

Or 58. I know people in the tech industry on one death march after another and surviving layoffs every year.

Data Centers are the new industry. Very hard to get in and fast moving.

Imagine that. I’m almost twice his age and am far more productive than I was when I was merely his (chronological) age.

I see I'm not the only one who knows who Maynard G. Krebs is.
When I mention the Beatniks or 77 Sunset Strip, most people just look at me awkwardly.

Not enough time to work, but enough time to organize a union.
But then it couldn’t happen to a better group than Politico.

I’m 46 and can still do 48 hours straight if necessary. In fact did a couple months ago working on a nasty math/crypto issue.
What a whiny wimp. Guarantee he/she/it is a libscum...
