#FightFor15? Not at Vox where the hourly wage for interns comes up short

Vox is hiring interns you guys:

Vox's editorial interns are treated as junior members of our staff. Apply for our summer program here: https://t.co/iUnFQvRzNq

Paid internships, mind you, but not at the $15/hour rate we’ve been told by liberals won’t affect profits at companies:

are they paid a living wage? $15+/hr?

Nope. Only $12.50/hour:

$15/hr minimum wage proponent Vox only pays their interns $12.50 ? https://t.co/1IJ5UkKi2L

So, Vox interns should live in poverty? Good to know:

To be fair to Vox has questioned a $15/hour minimum wage in the past:

Is the push for a $15-an-hour minimum wage a good idea? @mattyglesias explains https://t.co/UYtWaF9jaL

In summary, a $15/hour is rate is good for Democratic debates and that’s about it.
