David Burge laughs

maniacally on Twitter at this, Contra Costa Times piece by Matthias Gafni


Won the rights to run to run a healthcare call center to help implement the Affordable Care Act whereupon politicians lauded the 200 new jobs it would bring to the area only to find to their disappointment  half the jobs are part-time and with no health care benefits. 

David Burge thinks that's funny.

People will calm down once they realize that part-time jobs open up time to take another part-time job and thus more broadly explore one's interests, perhaps take on two additional part-time jobs with the additional comfort of free or inexpensive healthcare, after all, that's right there in the title. Affordable. That's the whole point.
