Can’t wait for the day Altman goes to run payroll or whatever and there just isn’t enough liquidity there, full stop.

That will be the start of the world healing from a very severe psychosis and ailment, slop leaving the internet, and the future being certain and stable again for kids and such.

It’s optimistic I know.

Mothers are great at childcare and can easily provide much healthier lunches at far lower cost than schools. As for medicine, children are a small percentage of healthcare costs.
