cash transfers from rich to poor can increase happiness of the poor While at the same time DECREASING the hapiness of the rightful owners of the cash.
It's called Marxism. Many wars have been fought and millions of lives have been lost over it.

I thought it was the Bee too. It might be better to give the money to people than giving their money away to their climate change church.

“A team of researchers at the University of British Columbia, working with two wealthy donors has found that transferring money from rich people to poor people can increase the level of happiness reported by the poor people who receive the money.”
And this is EXACTLY why GenZ votes 90%+ for Democrats. GenZ should be renamed as the something for nothing generation.
And this eye-popping study cost how much government grant money???

Were they required to report 6 months AFTER the money ran out?
Likely not because their misery would have been worse.
Stupid study to get stupid people to feel better about themselves while being taxed down the equitable, happy level of “marginally poor”.

The happiness dissapears as soon as the cash does, then they want more.
