    Does giving people money when they’re absolutely fucking desperately broke help them not be absolutely fucking desperately broke?

    I love that we have to study something so incredibly obvious.

      The majority of people will say that if you give a homeless person a thousand dollars, they’ll use it on drugs. This data is there to dispute that objection, despite it being obvious to you

        Whereas, if you give a rich kid $1000, they probably will spend it on drugs.
