Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. One way to look at this is that there's a part of the labor market that competes purely on price-in this case, basically by being the poorest place rich enough to afford fast Internet-and this category is the most vulnerable to technological disruption.
  2. One potential upshot of this: a more fragmented media environment but a much more media-aware population will lead to more small-scale, meme terrorism.
  3. Higher real rates mean that the average view of the future is more abundant, and that it's worth sacrificing more to get to that future sooner.
