is it hard to find good editors these days? or is everyone taking the substandard AI shortcut?
I am partway through Fiat Food. I recommend it for the connection of money printing to subsidized illness, especially in the US.
But holy cow - it needs editing! Missing verbs, misspelled homonyms, dangling participles, incorrect prepositions.

I've almost reached for a pen a few times to just make some corrections right on the pages. At least the next person to read this copy won't have to read some of the sentences multiple times.
