I put that there just for you : )
The point is that work that has its own rewards we will do--even
happily--without the incentive of high pay. Can't pay Einstein or Kunstler
what they're worth so just make sure they have enough to do their thing.
(And yes, I have, as a layperson working with lawyers to get the law/politics
right. Preferred it to housepainting.)
