This man writes like A WALL. Lemme see if I can break it down:

Basic income - all

Or nothing; shows true colors

Of our dire quandary.

I mean, lemme get hemingwayapp on this shit:

ZOMG

I play this trick a lot and I've never hit the 20s before. That's some straight-up byzantine prose.

I still break the H-tool out whenever I run across a New Yorker article e.g. that's just askin' for it.

Nice tool :D I used it on my letter of purpose and got a 15.

Is that okay? :D

Dendrophobe found it.

I ran big chunks of my novel through it. 7th grade level. Probably pretty good when you're focusing for pop fiction. The thing of it is - it only analyzes structure, not vocabulary. From that standpoint, the lower you can go and still get your point across, the better off you are.

    My novel

We get to read that when it's done, right?

Or, well, screw everyone else, I get to read that when it's done, right?

I'll hook you up.

Right now, a crazy-good - no, that's not properly hyperbolic.

This guy is editing it right now.

TRUST ME you'd rather see it once he's had his way with it.

Daaaaaayum, son. Consider me extra hyped with a side of cheese.
