Reading a 1920s French book set in England, and every paragraph is like, "She ate her dinner amidst the screeching tones of her country's traditional music. The waiter approached in his ill-fitting outfit, and offered her a dish that he supposed, in his pathetic ignorance, was some sort of dessert."

Wouldn’t it be nice if, instead of all of us having to warn a new faculty member to steer clear of the abusive senior colleague who exploits/extracts other people’s labor, we could change the rewards system that enabled him (yes I’m talking about a white dude) thru endowed chairs + directorships

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
