Equal Pay for Women: the Pay Gap

Subject: Oh that damned market!

http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/21/news/clinton-paid-women-less/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom

Curses! Foiled again! It appears that even if I want to run a private organization dedicated to bribery and propagandizing equal pay for women, doing so effectively means paying market wages which are generally higher for men than women!
– Hillary Clinton (not an accurate quote)

Dear PR: A good one. My only “complaint” about what you sent me is that you mis-spelled “curses.” It should be “coises” (with a Brooklyn accent). You may be interested in my publications on this subject:
