      I think this is the post people dislike. I think it's a useful insight and the policy (give money to kids or nonworkers) is good. 1pic.twitter.com/y9xIBq0l4p

      I also think it would be great if the money were specifically given to the kids and not their parents. young people need money of their own, desperately, since parents can be abusive. govt accounts kids can access w/o parents would be really useful.

          An 18-year, gov’t backed bond issued to every newborn wouldn’t hurt, either. Could be a starter fund for the end of high school.

          He's wrong about the first part. Plenty of poverty is 100% because of low paying jobs. BUT he's not wrong that paying kids and folks mentioned would be helpful.

          right...I think he's right that people underestimate how much dependents can contribute to poverty, but then he pushes that so it looks like he's saying people without dependents aren't poor, which is obviously not the case.

          There is literally no place in this country where a single person can afford a 1-BR apartment on minimum wage, so yes, low wages lead to poverty.

          i feel like this is only sort of correct? like they show these statistics with fun colored maps, right? but the maps don't capture all the data available, they capture what's available on the MLS, which is rental stock that someone feels the need to use the realtor for

          Analogy: We're at a place with our society where we take someone's kids away because, poverty And give those kids to somebody else whom we then pay THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to look after said kids because, reason.
