Yup. Programmes that have experimented with giving homeless people hundreds in no-rules cash find that within a couple of months most of them have secured accommodation and reconnected with family and friends. After a while the majority are in paid employment.
Who would have guessed that the most of the problems of extreme poverty could be solved with money?!
Next you're going to tell me you can solve homelessness by giving people housing
Yes. But in more controversial news, you can solve hunger with.... money!
It's like giving people money empowers them to choose to fix their problems, most important ones first.
The surprising bit is that drug use rates drop substantially if people can cope with everyday life.
Drug use rates also decrease with accessible medical and mental health care. It's almost like treating the cause works better than punishing the symptoms...
Well then, seems to me like money itself is the issue
Who'd've thunk it?
Problem: poverty.
Solution: money.Problem: no money
Solution: you guessed it it's money
Problem: money
Solution: get rid of money.
But I'm using these bootstraps, they can go find their own!
