According to the actual study cited by the Bloomberg article this guy is spamming, the authors looked at migration to come up with a theory about remote work during the pandemic and the effect on house prices (and rent prices):

You could have linked to the actual study instead of the paywalled Bloomberg article about it:

Aren’t the people buying all these houses in your neighborhood living in them? Making them people who actually live in the area? Or is your complaint that only people whose workplaces are within a given radius of your neighborhood should be allowed to live there?

“Supposedly” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Sure, but how long the company exists is not how long the company has been operating in the US (and thus subject to US laws), how long the company has been doing shady stuff, etc.  It’s not like they started the investigation 11 years ago.

I urge you to consider that preparing enforcement action and lawsuits is not something that takes five minutes. A much less conspiracy-minded but realistic ‘feeling’ would be that the 1) SEC has been investigating these crypto companies for some time because 2) they’re dealing with complicated, global companies and…

“Along with surgery” should have been in the headline maybe?

“It’s not made in the way that other cars are made.” I’d ask what this means, but on further reflection, Musk obviously doesn’t know what it means either. It’s just a thing that popped into his brain and he decided to say because it sounds cool.

Books are published for an audience. Babies aren’t.

“These days”? “anymore”? Pops, it was always like this. The difference you’re feeling is that it used to be that only certain people were tone-policed.

Don’t feel too bad for her, because SparkPress is a “hybrid publisher”, which is to say it’s a variation on self-publishing/vanity presses. Nothing inherently wrong with taking that route, but let’s be clear this isn’t a Big Publisher running from the internet mob; this is a private company that she hired to publish…

You almost don’t have to affirmatively quit, given how slow and buggy it is! I don’t even bother to try and check it anymore.

As a published author: reviews are a one-way street. Readers get to have whatever opinions they want about your writing, stupid or otherwise. The solution to not feel “stung” by less-than-perfect reviews is simple:

No doubt these people sunk what little disposable income or savings they had into Trump Bucks, then when things got tight they tried to cash them in because of course the value went up, right? Why wait for 2024 if you don’t have to (and if the bills are coming due)?

That wasn’t even him selling the NFTs; it was some other grifter who paid him to use the name.

Too much effort.
