Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

I started reporting on Tether by being a troll who was pretending to offer audits and show stacks of five dollar bills.
I was so mad about it all that eventually I turned into a real independent journalist covering it and then got my job with Protos shortly after.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
