This article is a lot of confident statements that are just shy of florid, with only weak anecdotal support, often just a sentence or even a single clause. It feels like the author leaned almost entirely on an LLM to generate it. It’s so very disjointed and bland.

Came here to post this same thing! Hey there fellow Illinoisian 😎

This is a great point. I have another account on a smaller instance, and there I frequently just read everything in the local feed.

It is just dicey, because income can be related to racial factors. Poor areas in many cities are often overwhelmingly non-white. It’s something HR doesn’t want to touch with a ten-foot pole.
