   I just want to say that this is extremely eloquent and well-written. I aspire to write like this. I also agree with you.

   I generally agree with you, but there are two counterpoints that I think we should keep in mind: * "The passage of time is really all it takes to turn a liquidity problem into a solvency problem." - Powell * This is true as long a

   This is true as long as your currency is a reserve currency and people are willing to access it, buy bonds denominated in it, etc. The central bank can print money and inflate debt away as long as it's seen as the asset of last resort.

   > When you throw a wrench into their cash flow, those owners decide maybe the time is right for retirement. Apparently 100,000 small business owners decided on some version of this already. (From the article.)

   I agree with you. Anyone talking about a recovery this year is delusional -- the IMF chart is really meant to show that... Even if things open up this quarter, it'll take until 2022 to get back to where we were before this all happened

   I wish that were the case here. I think cannabis and alcohol sales are up 10x, but no road work getting done. :)

   Interesting idea! How would you differentiate between the two? I guess with a reset, you stop everything, turn it all off, and turn it back on. Is that what you mean?

    I think the point he’s making is that you didn’t take enough time to validate either way. If you do this with every idea you can launch and shut down 12 companies a year and not give any one a real chance of validation.

    I'm not saying it's impossible ; just because it might have worked for Jason Cohen doesn't mean you should expect such a short timeframe to work for you. That was also his 4th startup, I believe... As Jason says in his int

    I think this is 100% buildable in WeChat, not to mention its existing location-based services. I'd argue it's easier to build that feature into WeChat than all the other features into Fortnite.

    Personally, I feel like WeChat or other superapps are closer to a metaverse than Fortnight. You can build mini-apps, you can spend money, it's independent from the underlying hardware -- i.e., you can run them anywhere and they provide
