A writer must “know and have an ever-present consciousness that this world is a world of fools and rogues… tormented with envy, consumed with vanity; selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions… He should free himself of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, politics…” —Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). “The nobility of the writer's occupation lies in resisting oppression, thus in accepting isolation” —Albert Camus (1913-1960). “What are you gonna do” —Bertha Brown (1895-1987).
"California Democratic congresswoman Katie Porter spelled out to JP Morgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon, the real-world implications of the low wages his bank pays its junior employees at a senate hearing on Wednesday. After running Dimon through the numbers, Porter found that a single mother on the bank's starting salary for a teller would be $567 in the red at the end of each month. Asked how a woman in that situation could get by, Dimon said, 'I don't know. I'd have to think about it.'"
