Another classic issue with draconian regulations that could be easily solved with Web3 payments.

What worked for me: plenty of sugar and starch, cut out all fat, low salt. 45 and feeling great, haven’t struggled with weight in nearly a decade.

One of many issues solved by blockchain technologies. You can completely cut out the middleman and get access to your data.

This is great. Their hard work is paying off. Not to mention that many of them are BIPOC unlike in past generations in which all of the richest families were white.

I always felt that DeFi is the obvious solution to these problems. These people need ways to get paid or take out loans so they can get back on their feet, but it’s difficult with America’s draconian regulations. More succinctly, we need to bank the unbanked.

Crypto is decentralized so it eliminates the middleman

Why not just link your house to an NFT and transfer that? Easy, no intermediary needed

Not every joke is trolling but sure do your thing if it makes you feel good

Right - maybe we could have Bitcoin miners make the software?

Both sides have merits. The truth is somewhere between Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate.

No, that would be focusing on the advanced poor kids who need less help.

I'm OK with that and no it doesn't keep inequality moving.

Yes, done with school. Read a book, or go to work, or just hang out.

Read whatever you want, you're just concern trolling.

I disagree.

In general what you'll find is that most of these advanced classes are dominated by certain economic groups. Public funds are advancing people with more resources when all they actually need is to pass state college entrance exams. It's not that children from low income families can't do the math, it's that they're at a huge disadvantage when their parents are often working, can't hover over them to make sure they figure it out, and can't afford Kumon. If you agree with a progressive tax rate (which not everyone does), surely you understand that this is a bad thing.

I personally think all middle and high school should be bare minimum. Kids should be able to test out of classes when appropriate. The extra funds can go toward paying competent teachers for the less advanced subjects. If some parent wants their child to be advanced, they can use their own resources to help them test out of classes and take whatever APs they need.

Also many of the comments on this topic here and on Twitter to me reek of solipsism. Every upper-class parent wants the best for their child, and every hacker thinks the story of their journey into math and CS is the most important one.
