People are upset about (relative) income disparities. Back then this was middle class, and everyone was middle class. Now it's poverty level as you suggest.

There is only one asset in the universe: Energy. Trust me, I'm a physicist. Any provable measurement of energy consumption is itself, another asset. Cryptography and PoW are a unique and fascinating way to prove energy consumption, with strong ties to real world assets.
So I drove to 5 vaccination sites in LA today to see what's going on. Spent so far 30ish hours researching & talking to friends in healthcare & those who have "access" . I'll share a few tips & crazy things I saw. also AMA
