Virtually everyone who has participated in a Guaranteed Basic Income program or trial has said the same thing as Marianne, their levels of stress and anxiety were decreased dramatically and they were able to focus on personal development instead of wondering if they had enough $$

Yes. Poverty contributes, definitely. My sister is homeless right now even though she works 35 hours a week. She would be lifted out of poverty simply if we raised the minimum wage.

Marianne - Capitalism requires poverty to work.

I guess the Government didn't have anything left after sending TRILLIONS of dollars to Ukraine, BILLIONS to Iran to promote gender agenda in schools, hiring 100s of armed IRS agents at 90k+ per year.

This is an intensely dumb thought.
