As a technology article this is interesting

Not sure why they feel qualified to make statements like this:

“When ineffective policy results in a large chunk of the populace generationally living in yurts on the outskirts of urban areas, it’s clear that there is failure.”

the article seems to be well written and well studied too. Why is that statement (which seems to be the common thread in any documentary about Mongolia for the last 20 years) unqualified according to you?

Because the notion of not being surrounded by useless things no one needs is repulsive to westeners and the concept of people living without having any consumer goods or access to contemporary western medicine being different than suffering is impossible for us to grasp.

Because everyone should live in a poorly constructed cookie cutter house and get into petty fights with their homeowners association the way God intended.
