  1. So Avodah will hire people to work (isn’t that what avodah means?) at zero pay.
    And what will these unpaid people be doing? Anti-poverty work!
    I have a great way to fight poverty. Make sure no one works for no pay.
    There. So now can I get one of these fellowships?
    But unlike all those other zero-pay jobs I’ve previously mentioned, Avodah has a brilliant angle, er, I mean strategy. Its doing to charge the employers of these unpaid workers $500 for taking them on as fellows and not paying them.
    Brilliant! Negative pay.
