@shavixmir saidYeah, Shav do a study, and if it is not convenient, has surprising results, so change the basis, the goals, and the measurements!!!! Eureka, that is it!! You will land on the desired results.

Mhmm... my gut tells me that the experiment has to be done over on a wider basis with more defined goals and starting point measurements.

The post that was quoted here has been removedYes, Duchess, I am one of those people. Out forum is just full of varying opinions, but one would think that giving money away would be the LEAST most popular. I bet there are people here who would grab it hand over fist. If my son got it, I would make him pay it back with interest. I cant imagine him 'hooking his star' to a give-away program. Could you imagine your son doing that.? You know, failure of self reliance,self esteem, to provide for himself . I know that your son would NOT do that.

@shavixmir said...They're trying it in Oakland, California too.
How did the experiment in Finland go?
I never saw the results. Wasn’t that concluded in 2020?
......I've lived on the street and, believe me, it's a full time job in itself....
What person could sleep outdoors without a few drinks under their belt...
Sadly, after Reagan dismantled Community Mental Health Centers, our
penal system became our greatest warehousing of many people that cost
$15,000 plus to care for---$500 a month sounds like a bargain to me and,of course, fraud goes on but I would rather be paying then $.............
.........Jails and prisons are expensive to build yet, ''The land of the free'', has more people incarcerated, and a higher percentage of the population incarcerated
than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
