Wow, you took something that wasn’t even about antisemitism and you made her the bad guy in a story you made up in your head about what she was really saying. Truly next-level strawman building, you should enter a contest

The main thesis here is good, but that’s a mischaracterization of what people consider “failed” writers.
Someone who wrote one novel and had it published is not considered a failed writer, no matter if they then stop writing immediately. “Failed writer” is pretty much reserved for people who tried writing and couldn’t get anyone interested enough in it to publish it.
I’m not sure what labels would be applied to someone who exclusively pursued self-publishing, but that’s not really the common way.
This one’s not even that far out there. Understanding how ants think has direct applications! Ants must take many thousands of steps in a day; being able to count them precisely requires certain cognitive facilities we wouldn’t otherwise know existed. Next step: figure out how those things work with such simple cognition. Then apply that to self-organizing robots and use them to cure cancer or something.
Gen X here. I also just bought a house a year ago. I support the elimination of housing-as-investment. It has always been a smoke and mirrors trick anyway.
You buy a house to live in. You put money into that house. Eventually, 30 years later, I won’t have to pay a mortgage any more but by that time I’ll be a very old man. In the meantime the value of the house has gone up. Hooray? Not really: I can’t get that money back out and live on it. To live on it, I’d have to sell the house. Then I’d need somewhere else to live. Oh, I suppose I could buy a house? Except the value of every other property has gone up just like mine. It’s break-even. It’s not an investment for anyone except developers and massive real estate corps.
Jon Ringer’s actual actions did include pushback against representation for trans people. I’ll take your word for it that this article didn’t mention those exchanges; I’m not readin’ all that.
