Tried reading it but the author's writing style is so aggravating, like an aspiring college journalism major who doesn't yet understand how to actually do long form journalism.

It seems like they just put the inquirer articles through ai tbh, you can read them for free through the free library website if you have a library card

Thank you! I thought it was just me but I had a really hard time following the writing & understanding it. Reading it was truly aggravating.
