Want to stop “teen” takeovers?
Declare a curfew. Announce that anyone who shows up for a planned takeover will be arrested. Then enforce it.

Choose order.
Two days ago, Spencer Pratt held a cookout at Jim Gilliam Park in the Jungles. A week earlier, Rolling 60s territory. Politicians avoid these neighborhoods, scared of the anger from decades of neglect.
Spencer showed up anyway. Broke bread. Listened.
This is a new Los Angeles.
Starting a neobank is now incredibly cheap. With crypto rails, most of the stack comes out of the box for free. That makes CAC the dominant cost driver, and the whole business becomes a game of acquiring customers for less than they’re worth. The way to keep CAC low is to specialize. Teams often start by focusing on a narrow segment, like farmers in one region, young people in high-inflation economies, or expats in Asia, and build features and marketing tailored precisely to them. The result is great for consumers: they get financial experiences designed for exactly who they are.

Nearly 10 hours after residents heard gunfire yesterday — but failed to call 911 about it — a passerby found a young man dead in a vacant lot in South Chicago.
That lot was monitored by ShotSpotter until the mayor unplugged the system in 2024.

America's cultural ideal has been the self-made entrepreneur while Europe's was rooted in aristocracy, with status inherited rather than earned. Europe's inheritance laws show this divide.
Many European countries have "forced heirship" laws that require people to leave 50-75% of their estates to their children. Want to leave the majority of your wealth to charity? not allowed. Your kids are estranged from you, struggling with addiction, or irresponsible? still required to give them the money. Want your kids to avoid a life of entitlement? tough.
Incredibly, these laws look back at transfers made during your lifetime. If you have 3 children in France, you're required to bequeath them a minimum of 75% of your estate. Because French law calculates this based on your assets at death plus all lifetime gifts, giving away more than 25% of your wealth while alive means your heirs can legally sue to force charities or foundations to return the funds. This has limited the development of the nonprofit sector on the continent.
The cultural gap between an entrepreneurial society and one shaped by dynastic wealth is enormous. If you make it yourself, you tend to want your kids to do the same. If you inherit it, the primary goal is protecting the estate for the next gen.
Countries like Spain, France, and Italy legally entrench family dynasties, while America has historically sought to limit them through estate taxes. The result is not only a weaker culture of philanthropy and civil society in Europe, but also less economic dynamism.

And about 300 million gallons of water every year.
That’s just ONE facility.
