Except that there is a lot of hardship during the transition. Literal kids starving in the streets. The entire midwest is a testament to what happens when short sighted policy assumes systems are self healing. There are generational assets

So. It’s a high fidelity prototype. Evaluate the concept. The implementation can be improved.

I love this idea. I was working on a JavaScript dialect to make programming more approachable after watching non technical colleagues vibe coding. It was clear that learning programming concepts would make a world of difference
