And everyone in politics has a steady job with good insurance.
Same is true for the media: nearly everyone reporting the news – any news from any country – has a good gig, aside from stringers who are not vetted for trustworthiness.
So by that metric, there is no hope.
Sirota himself is described as a “nationally syndicated something something” and award-winning journalist. So presumably he himself is not like the common uninsured strugglers, either. But he is “one of the good ones”. So he proves it is possible to have insurance and be “one of the good ones”… while he implies otherwise and throws shade at his competition.
Yes: I am a cynic. I would guess Sirota is a financially comfortable man, preaching to a progressive demographic niche in exchange for readership and a devout fan-base and his boss’s dollars. Which doesn’t make him bad, but does make him just like everyone else.
