Definitely not against experimenting with certain kinds of wealth redistribution (e.g. UBI), but it's weird that these convos sometimes start with "which policy should we use to make the wealthy less wealthy?" rather than "which policy should we use to make the poor less poor?"

It's not graded in letters. I am from the U.K., where we mark on a scale of 0-100 and where we seem to have a better grip of the definition of the word "unintelligible" than you have managed to muster here.
The efficacy of direct cash transfers in similar contexts is incredibly well established https://www.givewell.org/international/technical/programs/cash-transfers … Unsolicited advice: laugh, block, or be slowly dragged into the abyss. I choose laugh! "Having more money can't solve having too little money" is pretty funny

Maybe we look at the issue from different perspectives. I see being poor as less a money issue and more a knowing what to do with it issue. I grew up poor, bad neighborhood, etc. But I didn't want that life, so I learned what I needed to and changed my situation. Anyone can.

You can know what to do with it but it won’t be any good unless you have it! I think we are perhaps envisaging different circumstances. I advocate its use in the third world and haven’t looked into it as much as I’d like for first world countries.
