@petersuber A shocker for those who run entirely on volunteer labor.
@czimm_economist
I know what you're saying. On the other side, #arXiv has 27 full-time staffers and a budget of $6 million/year.
@petersuber But I do not understand why you would need that many people.
@czimm_economist I don't think we need to worry about the people who might be doing actual work. It's the people who will certainly do no work whatsoever yet draw a salary that make me worried. But they make me worried in every organization, not just in this one. @petersuber
