I think he’s right in a sense but wrong in the numbers. The 100 intern will stay just that 100k will be 50k of 2010 dollars

I have yet to be able to easily read a single link to a mastodon post. With twitter embedded links worked really well on most sites. How do you get reach without that?

Wouldn’t they provide the best impact as relief works or as logistical sponsors? It’s not like Ukraine is short on bodies, it needs food, guns and logistics, most of your friends would have had a greater impact by providing that.

It’s a bad way to slice data as Americans up to 22/23 are in school still. You want to cut that off at like 25-35 to get a good idea on if it’s a problem
