Eliminate poverty? No, it won’t. The same people who blow through a welfare check in three days now will also blow through their utopian income check in three days unless they learn to spend wisely.
Funny, nobody is willing to admit that the real problem with poverty is stupid spending.
Or, as I heard growing up. “Poor people have poor ways”.

In their Utopian ways, poor people (i.e. most of us) won’t have STUFF to spend on.

Problem solved.

“Poor people have poor ways”.

Learned this lesson myself trying to help one of them. There’s a reason she’s on the street and I am not.
