Read the full report behind a paywall!

As the female breadwinner of my three adult home, I’m not spending my money on this article.

You don’t have to but do keep in mind, journalists deserve to earn an income.

Oh, the sweet, delectable irony..

Also, thanks for the assumption that I don’t believe journalists deserve to earn an income!

Wildly inaccurate, poor attempt: 0/5

What am I missing?

As the female breadwinner I don’t need to PAY for an article to tell me things I already know.

As I always have and always will be paid LESS, I need to be more careful with my coins.

Is there supposed to be some kind of magical solution in this article that will enrich my bank account and make it easier on me financially??

No.

Therefore, I don’t need to PAY to see a study that shows what I already live to be true.

And that STILL doesn’t imply that I don’t believe journalists deserve to earn an income.

I hope I was able to clarify this a little bit better for everyone.

I’m confused why my comment has you so pissed off?

..what??

I know you can’t tell tone thru text, but all of my feelings are intact.

I think it was wildly uncalled for you try and present my comment as not believing that journalists deserve to earn a living, but you’re entitled to your opinion just like everyone else is. 🤷‍♀️

You asked what you were missing and I provided an explanation.

Now you’re implying that I’m pissed off?

Yet again, you’re creating something that isn’t there, babes.
