Today also is I guess #NationalInternDay .... What's an actual reason a company / organization should use interns vs actually hire the person as an employee?

Interns basically are volunteers unpaid to do employee work. For most companies it seems they use interns for free labor. If someone is going to work in 99% of cases (unless maybe you are a small nonprofit with no funding and can't pay staff...) people should get paid for their work and time.

I guess it’s expectation sensitivity, but I HATE IT when someone I don’t know (or do know, but not well) asks to “meet up” or “grab a coffee.” [This tends to be #professional life] Usually there’s a “pick your brain” or something else vague in there. Why? What do you want? Are you asking me for #freelabor ? Or you want me to just send you business? Without any relationship. Gotcha. Just lay it out there. And if you’re inviting, pay. This is what you get for being #corporate adjacent.

You know what, LinkedIn? I'm good.

I'm continually surprised at the quality of southern slavery-apologist criticism of economic theories about free markets and labor. EG here's George Fitzhugh on Adam Smith:

"He saw only that prosperous and progressive portion of society whom liberty or free competition benefitted, and mistook its effects on them for its effects on the world."

There are a lot of books like this from the time that combine really incisive criticism of claims that free laborers were actually free with utterly psychopathic defenses of the most brutal form of slavery the world has ever known. Here's the source:
