    The pyramids were paid for in part by a stipend of beer. I think that’s a good better system.

      Imagine 5000 years in the future and archeologists state that workers today were paid in part by a stipend of pizza and coffee, based entirely off reports documenting the expenses of companies throwing pizza parties and having free coffee in break rooms.

        This is a reasonable argument and made me pause to think about it. However the ancient Egyptians kept records on clay tablets and our paper receipts and digital data will all be gone, so no one will have a record of the pizza parties. That doesn’t stop you from buying me beer if you like. :)
