I’m not spending time reading a salon article, but I’m willing to bet money that their definition of “repeat misinformer” is total bullshit.

Yes. High poverty is directly linked to an increase in crime. High unemployment leads to that.
Poverty is actually a quite weak predictor of crime rates once you condition on demographic factors such as percent single-parent households.

Zoning doesnt matter unfortunately, prices go up in line with maximum possible mortgage amounts.
Real-estate prices have no bearing on 'value' of the land or materials. The buyer is convinced that he will get that money back and then some from the next sucker to buy it off him. It a pyramid scheme, detached from real economy.
You’re describing monetization, not a pyramid scheme.

The biggest gaslighting of this whole affair has been the political adherence to clearly insane propositions like forcing everyone to wear masks (questionable in any case) but allowing cloth masks (which do, at best, ~nothing, unlike actual rated masks, so definitely pointless) or quarantining billions of young people who accumulate less than 25 micromorts of mortality from covid contraction in the name of adding (on expectation) a few life-months for geriatrics who are not contributing to society and are about to keel over anyway.
The unnecessary manmade destruction of utility over the last year is nearly unprecedented, perhaps the most devastating since WW2.

1) Jane Street isn't that successful.
2) RenTech spends billions every year on compute, data and hiring the smartest people in the world.
The average person could never compete with RenTech.
> Jane Street isn't that successful.
Their historical record is very good.

Can you setup Starlink without the app, i.e: no cell phone? I'm getting real tired of devices that have no management/setup UI of their own.
Yes. I’m not even using their wifi box.
I have many. You should start with these:
