A Bitcoin mine moved to a small town in Texas. One by one, the residents fell ill.

They should be required to shut down some of the machines to get under noise ordinance.

Texas isn’t used to regulating businesses, to say the least.

This. Why haven’t they shut it all down for 24 hours to see if that helps people?

The obvious answer is greed.

No need to shut down for 24 hours, just meet noise levels “compatible with life”, 24/7.

But that requires regulation, and if people don’t want any… well, then this is the effect.
