This is a *really* pathetic thing for us, as MIT students, to say. More
'true and honest' because we've not been instructed in social niceties?
More 'true and honest' because half of MIT couldn't get *other* than an
engineering job, owing to those mysterious 'people skills' they failed to
pick up either before or during their time at this school? More true and
honest because Florey t-shirts are somehow more 'organic' and
'self-expressive' than a nice pair of chinos? Whoa there trigger!
As for this 'living wage' thing: Fuck it! I'm with those wacky fools, the
objectivists. Why should we care what happens to the have-nots? We're at
MIT, baby, we're the HAVES, baby!
