Anyway, I think that the remaining EA-billionaires have the opportunity to set a new standard in philanthropy.
The best billionaire is an ex-billionaire.
my dream is a thanksgiving where uncles are like "so wait there's a cryptocurrency based on a shiba inu" and i can be like "no no no there are *two* prominent cryptos based on shiba inus, plus some opportunistic shitcoins named for elon musk's shiba inu, floki."
Portable HEPA Filter Systems.
1/ The cost of retrofitting EVERY public school classroom in the entire US w/ a portable HEPA air filter w/ CADR = 300 cfm is approximately $1 billion w/ recurring cost of about $300M/yr for replacement filters. To be clear, EVERY single classroom.
Recycling is often seen as the holy grail of plastic management.
Certainly has its benefits (we need less raw material), but we can't recycle indefinitely.
It delays, rather than eliminates, plastic going to landfill. Most ends up there eventually.

@stevekinney I loved reading about actuarial systems for insurance companies that have to forecast out way into the future that are already running into this bug. Here’s to inevitably scrambling to fix it in December of 2037 🍻
Loved the convo in this pod and couldn’t help but think that the work we’re doing at @GuildEducation is very relevant to the things your guest suggested employers need to start doing to upskill their employees #futureofwork
In one city, randomly selected people were given $500 a month for 2 years.
Researchers found that families were most likely to spend it on essential items, like food and gas.
And after a year, full-time employment among recipients grew from 28% to 40%.
