So how do they know it was a drone? Sounds like textbook, literal UFO if they're unsure.

In previous discussions about terrestrial origins, either it's a hobbyist, an industry professional, a criminal, a terrorist, black ops domestic military, or a foreign state actor. I don't see 70+ minute flights without the resources of a state actor, foreign or domestic.

Another possibility is such stories are concocted to throw shade on drones to legitimize FAA's overreach and/or police-industrial complex wants to sell new toys to counter whatever this supposedly was.

Yep. It's pure FUD used to moralize and control behavior of consenting adults. It's one step removed from criminalizing homosexuality and abortions.

There's always the Office Space approach. I would add crypto mixing before it drops in a bank account though. ;)
Florida took the approach of "people will get it. (shrugs)" and look what happened. LC has been associated with permanent organ damage. I think that's a reason to worry because of the disability adjusted life years (DALY) involved.

Roger Ailes created FN specifically to extend and expand the ideological perspectives of the Nixon Republican faction using tilted mass media. It worked because there was demand for existing believers and also a malleable, susceptible audience.

Pennywise, pound-wise.

If you want to read real, well-researched data about the demographics and behaviors of actual millionaires, Thomas J. Stanley compiled and analyzed the data, and wrote a number of books on the topic. Furthermore, Felix Dennis, the late but an actual billionaire, wrote a hilarious book with a tongue-in-cheek title.

Biggest correlations with wealth are the marshmallow test as a child and then not participating in low-/no-skill chance gambling as an adult.

You should see Southern endocrinological clinics are massive patient and provider factories and typically have "diabetes" before "endocrinology" in the title.
