Yep. When you’re young you have milestones every 2-5 years.
6-8: Lower elementary
8-10: Upper elementary
11-12: Middle school
13-17: High school
18-22: College
After that you might break it up with grad school, marriage and kids, but the gaps become longer, less regular and less shared

They still complain about Bork. Literally half of the country wasn’t born when that happened (the median age in the US is 38)

This solves the flat fee issue, but the problem is you'd need build a two sided network. You won't get acceptance without customers and you won't get customers without acceptance.

You're welcome. I work in the payments industry and it's something we've tried to figure out and also, something I've tried to figure out as well because I think it's a potentially lucrative area. The most workable solution is some sort of top up wallet where you put in $10 that you chip at.

The big part is that micropayments is a very difficult problem to solve. Digital payments have a flat & an ad valorem component.

That insanity goes down officially as a grounded into double play, making it the only batted ball hit over 350 feet for a GIDP in the pitch tracking era (reg. + postseason).

Max Muncy grounded into a 404-foot double play.
