Did anyone else find the author's disdainful narrative aggravating?
I find the title almost click bait'ish.
Not too much to stop reading. It's a pretty dry subject so the opinions and more hot-button references made the piece more readable. Though I think the characters interviewed could have added enough life without the author injecting snide comments.
Arguably overplayed, but it was balanced by the rest of the article.
