And as a reporter working for a company that just announced layoffs today, I wonder if “pro bono” writing gigs like those offered by the HuffPo will be my only opportunity should the ax cut in my direction. In that case, maybe I’ll start eating magical food that doesn’t cost any money after moving into housing that some landlord will surely offer me “pro bono.” And maybe Sallie Mae won’t mind if I start sending them Monopoly money.
