No salary.
Just coffee.
Will it at least be premium brew, or just some cheap instant stuff?
Via Daily Caller:
Hillary Clinton is looking to hire college students or recent graduates to work at her campaign headquarters in Brooklyn. And she’ll pay too, just not in cash.
The Democratic presidential candidate, who reportedly hopes to raise $2 billion to fund her campaign, is offering to compensate interns in “free coffee,” “great views,” and “the chance to make history,” she tweeted Sunday.
Interning at #Hillary2016 HQ in NYC:

And, some Twitter responses:
@HillaryClinton That's some serious income inequality right there.

@HillaryClinton coffee is always free at an office. I want a president that knows that.

.@HillaryClinton How big is the coffee? Can I sleep in the coffee? 'Cos I'd need to, what with working unpaid and living in NYC.

Now there’s a missed opportunity, she could be charging them $250,000.00 a cup…..
Let them drink coffee!
The application probably states: “Only empty-headed, liberal, trust-fund babies need apply.”
No one else could afford to “work for coffee”.
“The chance to make history.” Nixon’s plumbers made history. And they got taxpayer paid coffee afterwards along with a bunk and 3 meals.
75 years ago today, August 17, 1940, Wendell Willkie gave his acceptance speech as Republican Presidential nominee. He was the first major party nominee who had not been either previously elected or a military hero. http://www.heraldbulletin.com/news/local_news/willkie-was-more-liberal-than-his-political-party/article_fc3f951d-0d6e-5034-9eb7-214a692f646e.html
Wikip: “…Willkie, an internationalist, needed the votes of the large isolationist element, so he waffled on the bitterly debated issue of America’s role in World War II, losing support from both sides. His opponent, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt, won the 1940 election with 55% of the popular vote and 85% of the electoral vote. Afterward, Roosevelt found Willkie to be compatible politically with his plans and brought him aboard as an informal ambassador-at-large. Willkie criss-crossed the globe and brought home a vision of “One World” freed from imperialism and colonialism….”
This is a long shot. But what happens to the fund raising money should congress ever sprout a pair and put the bite on Hillary? Does that money then automatically roll over to a defense fund to keep her sorry butt out of prison?
Fifteen bucks an hour, Hildebeast. Fifteen bucks!
