When their children ask, “Are we rich?” Betsy responds, “Well, we have everything we need!” That phrase has become their north star: “We have everything we need; how do we make sure everybody has what they need?”

"We Have Everything We Need": Jeff Atwood and Betsy Burton’s Bold Mission to Guarantee Minimum Income in Rural America - Denver Frederick
Jeff Atwood and Betsy Burton are leading a $50 million guaranteed minimum income initiative in rural America, partnering with GiveDirectly to provide direct cash transfers to families in counties tied to Jeff’s West Virginia and North Carolina roots. Their approach combines rigorous data analysis with deep community engagement through veterans, churches, and local businesses. Motivated by their family principle—“We have everything we need; how do we make sure everybody has what they need?”—they’re building a replicable model for all 50 states while shattering stereotypes about cash assistance through compelling storytelling and open research.

HeliomassI built a new plugin for LLM called llm-jq, which lets you pipe JSON into the tool and provide a short description of what you want, then it uses an LLM to generate a jq program and executes that against the JSON for you https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/27/llm-jq/
Example usage:
llm install llm-jq
curl -s 'http''s://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues' | \
llm jq 'count by user login, top 3'
