it does cover some costs. a roommate may be necessary.an income is helpful under capitalism.lol. that is complicated poverty not simple poverty.Solving for simple poverty is the goal. That must engender a positive multiplier effect on our economy. That is all.
Solving for simple poverty is best left to programs designed for such things, like welfare, food stamps, gov't subsidized housing ect.
Those programs provide what the poor actually need. Giving them a check for $470 does not provide for all their needs. It might provide for all your wants, and that is why you think it is best.
Sure it is. I'm also sure it is helpful if you want to take women out to dinner. But $470 a week does not pay rent, utilities, transportation costs, buy food and pay for healthcare.
