I really wish that journalists would just sit down, look at the numbers and the costs.

Not relative salaries, not arbitrary "this has six numbers so it's a lot".

Pay a salary that allows a grown man or woman along with his or her partner to buy a house with a garden, own a car, and raise children.

If you don't have that, there is no "not enough". There are tons of people doing bullshit jobs that would love to have a real job but don't because they will just lose slightly less rather than actually winning.
