also what the fuck are they paying him that it's worth 80k for an assistant? (I'm guessing this person will effectively be a ghost writer)

At least he's paying a pretty decent wage I guess?

Well, the Times is. Putting extraordinary resources into a single opinion column writer with low output.

80k is practically poverty wages in NYC. The median income for a one bedroom household is almost 115k. You’d qualify for section 8 housing with that wage.

I was wondering about this because if you have to live in NYC it's not amazing but if you can work remotely...
