Description

This gave an error just now (2024-04-30 12:03AM ET):

https://policyengine.org/us/household?focus=householdOutput.earnings&household=44013&region=us&timePeriod=2024&baseline=2&reform=48588

Sorry, something went wrong.
We ran into an issue when trying to simulate your household's net income under different earnings. Please try again later.

It then worked after reloading.
