This comment attracted a lot of analogies trying to reduce something to something else (calling humans a "bag of chemicals"), but the flaw in those analogies is that they're reducing something valuable to something that sound

The trick is the fees. Google shopping result might show an accurate shipping fee, but at checkout you will notice a $50 fee that exactly makes up the difference between the retail price and their Google Shopping indexed price.

No, I’m saying it’s literally treated like that with a buffer zone. That’s how these systems work. If people were getting arrested every time their GPS tracker was recording a ping 33 feet from the center of their house, nobody would ever s

Urban environments have larger buffer areas due to multipath interference. The story you linked has examples about false alerts triggering in a different state. Do you have any actual examples of 33 feet getting someone arrested? I’ve worke

Geofence monitors have buffer zones because a small GPS on someone’s ankle inside a house, potentially a high rise, isn’t going to be that precise. 33 feet is well within the allowances IIRC. Varies by state.

GPS is not that accurate even on a good day. A small device attached to someone’s ankle with a small antenna and an obstructed view of the sky will frequently be registering locations outside of the footprint of someone’s house. A single 33

I understand that argument, but what does it have to do with the unemployment rate? You seem to be confused about the point I'm making, which is that low-paying jobs drive people to take on more employment, not less.

Wealthy people would never sell their houses. Keep them in the family or rent them out. Anyone who had to move for a job or wanted to downsize their house for retirement years would be screwed, though.
