40.000 in grants? Mentioned in The Atlantic, Forbes, and US News? Sorry, but that doesn't sound impressive at all. If you had exited for several tens of millions, or build a hundred million long-term company, that might have been something

Just the sponsored feed brings something like $150,000-$200,000 a year. Add the Deck ads and the t-shirt sales, and you are there.

Chickens eat human feces too, but they are not considered "unclean". Plus, the one doesn't exclude the other. The taboo could be because of the reasons the parent mentioned, and the "unclean due to eating feces" could just be a post-fact ra
