That’s literally what I’ve been saying this entire fucking time you dingus.
Edit:
I’m not convinced that just cash will solve homelessness or poverty. It may help, but it seems like a “give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime” kinda situation. Give people the fish so they can eat, but if you want them to actually be independent, then you gotta make sure they have the tools they need to do so.
Key sentence in bold and italics. From my first comment in this thread.
Not quite, it isn’t, not in overall message, and if you read what I said, you’ll see that I didn’t object to any additional help, I just insist on substantial cash first and reject most firmly your absurd histrionics about inflation.
Listen, I may have been horrible at phrasing what I’m saying, but that’s legitimately what I’ve been trying to argue. The difference I guess is that I’m anticipating the possible negative outcomes and saying they should be resolved simultaneously instead of just saying “throw money at them”.

Okay, sooooo… Again, apparently I was bad at explaining myself, but that’s basically what I was trying to say, just that instead of cash now, resolve issues later, I think that you should resolve the possible issues at the same time.

Why is it hard to believe that rich people will happily destroy the world if it means they get an extra dollar or two? They’re already doing it. Recent history has firmly established that rich people are consistently among the worst human beings that humanity has to offer. They would unironically feed a baby into a blender if that meant their company ran 0.1% more efficiently. That’s why I’m convinced they’ll just fuck people over again. You have to either remove them from the equation as well, or at the very least, quarantine them so their obscene wealth and influence can’t hurt anyone in the real world.
And we can make it quick bby. It doesn’t have to take long~.
Inflation is a real thing and will really happen. It’s just that charity programmes have absolutely nothing to do with fuelling inflation. You have cause and effect utterly backwards.
The difference I guess is that I’m anticipating the possible negative outcomes and saying they should be resolved simultaneously instead of just saying “throw money at them”.
The difference is that I’m hearing the people doing the things and analysing the results who are saying no strings cash is far and away the best thing you can do. All the other stuff has to come later.
If it’s 103 outside and you haven’t drunk anything since the morning, your mouth is parched and you’re starting to feel dizzy and I show up with a shrink and a sachet of electrolyte-rich powder, I’m just not helping. If I show up with three pints of cool but not cold water then you might be prepared to take some electrolyte powder in it but I bet you $100 you don’t want to wait for me to mix it into the first pint, because here’s the thing, the water is the main thing you need. Pint 2 or 3 you might accept the electrolytes, but frankly they can wait. And don’t bother with the shrink yet either. Don’t lead with the powder, don’t lead with the shrink, lead with the water.
