The median full-time writer in the US makes $20,300, below the poverty line.

The median part-time writer makes $6,300, enough to pay for a years worth of ramen, instant Folgers, and a futon for an abandoned Suburban. 30% of the US relies on temp/part-time/gig economy as a primary salary.

Pay. People. Enough. To. Live. With. Dignity. (Strike till you get it)
