This is a tool that allows you to explore the US Census data. Right now there is only a single data point available (median income by age). I wanted to get it out there before I get lost in the feature development forest.

> why it's important for a currency to be inflationary

Money is created when people take out loans right? (like for a home or car, or when a buisness takes out a loan for capex)

So if the population contracts (i.e. the boomers start dying) doesn't that mean there should a contraction of money supply since fewer people will exist to take out loans?

Wasn't Saylor encouraging people to take out loans against their home to buy BTC?

Consider one aspect of "stimulus" is that a bunch of people suddenly no longer had to worry about rent. All that money they would have gone to rent instead when to Dogecoin and GME.

This 100%, used to have the same problem as OP. They want you to work on their startup start talking about compensation, that'll sort things out real quick.

I think Netflix should do a web3 option for their subscription model, issue nfts that are just "generic subscriptions", family can transfer around the nft, there could be a market for netflix subscriptions, it could be neat.

Poor time management, there's a lot of "hurry up and wait" and "if you're not 15 mins early, you're not on time" in the military.
I don't understand your comment,

> Well, now we see that China's mistake and blackout are indeed less damaging then US' mistake and blackout...

What mistake and blackout did the US make?

I wonder if they're using the current crisis to push through an agenda?

I couldn't find any information on which Australian states are in lock down but I'd bet the Northern Territory isn't one of them. Relatively few people live there. Do you see where this is going?

> Blizzrd hasn't had a significant original release in 10+ years

A quick search tells me that Overwatch has 6M players, which seems significant.

I know you're getting down voted for not providing evidence / not being scientific, but I've always wondered how that number made its way into the Bible. Were people really living to 120 back when Genesis was written 3500 years ago?
For some reason your Wikipedia link doesn't include the period at the end.

From the article

Interesting implications no?

I noticed that reading "recommended content" (like from google news) always gets me to thinking like this, but remember 90% of startups fail[1].

What if you have assets that can only be opened by that version of the software? What if these assets are worth more to you than the cost of the software?
