Hear! Hear!

When what you currently have coming in is $0.00/hr, then $22.00/hr is a fortune. The landlord does not hand out free rent, the grocery story isn't handing out free, and neither is the pharmacy with the meds to keep me alive to job hunt another day.

I don't see tech writers with gainful employment falling all over themselves

underemployment in hard times to serve the interests of "the entire
industry." In the absence of some equivalent of a union strike fund, people
need to make sure their own oxygen masks are in place before attempting to
assist others.

Don't take this the wrong way, Keith, but that logic is flawed. To
accept a poverty wage just because you need work makes it difficult
