There are multiple groups, the group referred to in the title received a lump sum of $6500 the first month, then $500 every month after that.
This is so cool! I can’t wait for the US government to see this data and implement the program nation wide!!! :(
Some of the laboratories of democracy are pretty progressive, some more than the countries thought of as “progressive” in some ways even. But those ideas are never implemented nationally.
Why is this a Google drive link? If the PDF is publicly available, link to that.
That’s how DBIP published it. When you go to their website, the link goes to their google drive
Ew
In other words, a handout to banks and landlords.
As opposed to what? Leaving people homeless so those greedy banks and landlords can’t get at their money? Yeah, that’ll show ‘em.
This is such a deranged fucking comment
Yeah, let people be homeless, it’s better than paying for them to live somewhere, they can all get fucked
Like seriously, who thinks like this
the majority of usa populace. most folks in America believe in a just world where those who are good are rich and should be rewarded and those who are bad are poor and should be punished.
hence why when a billionaire breaks the laws nobody cares, but when a poor person steals food they should be locked up.
they also believe in zero-sum thinking, where if anyone gets anything it came at the expense of someone else. they have no concept of how economics and life actually works. just consumed by jealousy and bitterness and assuming if others didn’t ‘take’ from them they would have more.
There is also the concept of the American Dream being sold to the people, with everyone being convinced they can “make it” if they just try hard enough and after they do they want to reap the rewards the rich are awarded. John Oliver summed the line of thinking up almost a decade ago: “yes, I can clearly see this game is rigged, which is gonna make it so sweet when I win this thing!” [1](https://youtu.be/LfgSEwjAeno)

People that want publicly owned housing instead of cash cows for the wealthy, which is why we’re in the situation were in now, if you’re blind fucking eyes were open you’d see this.
So partial steps and stop gap measures in that direction are inherently bad? The people still need houses. Denying them because they use the capitalist method instead of the public one is still fucking absurd and punished the poorest. Work for change, but stop shitting on progress when it happens.
Yeah! Small steps! Like here in Multnomah county where taxpayers are on the hook for the jack shack motels for $5200/mo per person! And hey look! The rates went up for 2023!
Good thing my mortgage is 1/3 of that for more space and isn’t an old jizz carpet. Look guys, we’re really doing a lot for the less fortunate!
You are a troll and a bad faith arguer. Henceforth I am blocking you and I encourage others to do the same.
Giving desperate people money for food and housing is clearly a plot to benefit BIG CAPITALISM!
