Honestly, for the stuff I read I totally care more about the opinion of "enthusiastic amateurs", so yeah, honey badger don't care.

The more interesting part of the article is "In 2018, The Writers’ Union of Canada found that, after factoring in inflation, Canadian writers are making 78 percent less than they were in 1998", ie inflation ie a giant motherfucker, and thanks governments everywhere for fucking the younger generations out of a future.

You just said it was “after factoring for inflation”. How does it make sense to say this is due to inflation when you just said inflation was accounted for?
inflation is good for the young since they are in debt.

inflation hurts the old on fixed incomes.
