I don't understand the authors "true crime" reference. I'd always associated true crime with middle aged white suburban moms podcast habits, not teens and young adults glorifying mass shootings. Did I miss something or did the author?
True Crime Community
Researchers say these posts and her online actions fit the mold of the internet group "True Crime Community," or TCC.
The online group often focuses on mass shootings and other crimes, researching and in some cases idolizing previous attacks.
"TCC and other similar online forums are one location online where individuals who are seeking justification for their desire to engage in violence, to express their anger at society, to express their feeling of being a victim, and they consume content found on those forums," Cohen explained.
Why would true crime be limited to that demographic? Lots of different people have an interest in certain crimes, particularly unsolved or controversial ones.
No one is saying that it's limited, just that it's the primary demographic that comes to mind when true crime is the subject.

"Sold off" isn't wrong per se, but glosses over the root cause: Triffin dilemma.
The USD cannot exist as a reserve currency and support domestic manufacturing. That is to say, the US political engine and its benefactors sold out domestic manufacturing for international leverage.
Did it have to be this way? No, we could have implemented the Bancor, but the appeal of dominating international politics was irresistible. We cannot reindustrialize without giving up international financial power and with that in mind, who would still decide to switch?
The medical standard for death has equated it with brain death since at least 1981, though arguably it started in the 1960s. The history of the definition of death[1] is fascinating.
