This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

they are worth whatever the market will bear by jt
let's eliminate the barriers and find out, shall we?
You and I (and others) can speculate all we want, but I think it's better to let the market decide. If the courts decide that these kids are employees (decent chance), there will need to be a plan in place.
simply stomping your feet and declaring, "they're not worth that much!" isn't going to fly; I can be pissed off that my costs for employees has doubled over the past 8 years, but I can't just decide to not pay them because I don't think they're worth that much.
How foolish.
