Your first link doesn’t separate correlation and causation. Is a high murder rate area more likely to cause people to buy a gun, or the inverse? I can tell you for sure people who are in a bad situation generally don’t just sit on their asses and do nothing.
When the intruder alarm goes off, police are minutes away, the intruder is only seconds from you. You are the only person who can reliably protect you. Buy a gun, learn how to use it, and keep it in an accessible place.
or if he’s just playing up the shock value like an edgelord
Nothing shocking about it, South Africa discriminates based on race.
Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by Musk’s SpaceX, has been unable to enter the South African market due to the country’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations. These laws require that companies providing communication services be at least 30% owned by historically disadvantaged groups to receive an operating license.
We can also change a single variable and have him sell 30% of it.
And if he sells 30% of it to people of ‘the wrong race’, South Africa still won’t allow in the company. The critical variable is the race of the owner(s); South Africa is demonstrably discriminating based on race.
Under current conditions Starlink cannot exist in South Africa. If we change a single variable, Musk’s race to black, then Starlink can exist in South Africa (it would be >30% owned by a black person).
South Africa is discriminating based on race.

Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are.
Nearly half of LLM users, which is only about half of the population. Still, that leaves about a quarter of US adults who believe LLMs are smarter than they are!
The article literally says South Africa bans Starlink due to the race of the owner. As his race does not meet South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations:

If a buyer opens with a suggestion on a place to meet and another opens with ‘is it available’, who is going to get messaged back? I can tell you who I would message.
