Intervention Needed
I suspect “the closest Walmart” to the average Jacobin writer is 100 or so miles
away.

I'm pretty sure many posters on CB can write 250 words per minute.

250 words an hour? Is that a lot?

Google says the average person types 40 words per minute…soooo yeah. It’s fast

It is if you are writing 250/hour 24/7 and all of the words are coherent…

It isn't 24/7. The OP just took $17.50 and divided by $0.07, which is 250. So

Let's say it takes them 7 hours. That is 286 words per hour, so about $20/hour

The people who write for them aren't doing it to make a living, is the answer.

Eh, Jacobin’s critiques of capitalism don’t recognize any of those nuances.

It doesn't seem like a lot to me. Google says 250 words is 1/2 of a page single space or a full page double spaced.

No, that's the freelancer wage. The writer is not an employee.

That’s cool that you’re not buying a narrative no one is selling! Good for you.
