this is not a reasonable take when asking whether or not this fee is extractive and exploitative.

    My "take" is that the misleading headline quote is misleading and clickbait and ABC should be better with their titles. They could have come up with many other better sentences - even using a phrase such as "extractive and exploitative" in the headline. How about something simple like "Visa fee for permanent residents raised to $1,475"
