    A new study found that giving low-income workers money upfront in their work period helped alleviate the mental burden of their financial problems and allowed them to be more productive — echoing other findings on the psychological impacts of poverty.https://trib.al/WL3iqEU

        Poverty means not daring to try because it could make things worse.

        Rent is due at the beginning of the month and your paycheck comes at the end of the month, so you gotta already have money to live

        Very few workers get paid monthly. Bi-weekly and weekly are the most common.

        Well yeah, when you can afford to eat & pay for gas & insurance to get to said job/or whatever your transportation costs are, you are a lot more calm. It’s trying to figure out how to make $79 do $400 of bills for example that will cause sleepless nights & stress.

        #UBI would be a much better alternative to the vulturist payday loan scam. Hint: SSA disability is, in essence a form of #UBI and guess what? It effing works!

        I've been on SSA Disability since 2010 and I own my own company as a sole proprietorship doing IT work in the gig economy to supplement my benefits. I've got a 30 yr conventional mtg (paying it off in 17 yrs) and I own 3 vehicles outright. #UBI works quite well!

        Sounds like you’re committing fraud and pretty much just confessed to it on social media. You do realize that even if you delete this, nothing is ever really deleted. It’s still there.
