Every dickhead MBA has learned about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but they never apply it when looking at the poor. Concepts like positive externalities go right out the window.

    It's not even abstract theory. Literally every single experiment ever run on this shows that the best way to address violence, homelessness, and malnutrition is giving the poor money without strings attached

    It's literally less expensive in every single experiment ever run to give the poor money than anything else we have ever done, including not giving them any money (because we spend the money in cops, courts, prisons, hospitals, sanitation, etc)
