Evidence than when you help the Poor and give them money necessary to live, they will do far better than if they get no help. So the "bootstrap" ideology of #Capitalists is proven to be a lie https://amp-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/10/09/americas/direct-giving-homeless-people-vancouver-trnd/index.html?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=16022945399005&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2020%2F10%2F09%2Famericas%2Fdirect-giving-homeless-people-vancouver-trnd%2Findex.html

"The preliminary findings, which will be peer-reviewed next year, show that those who received cash were able to find stable housing faster, on average. By comparison, those who didn't receive cash lagged about 12 months behind in securing more permanent housing,"

That's only the very first thing they did. In order to stabilize themselves. But look at what else they did.

"People who received cash were able to access the food they needed to live faster.Nearly 70% did after one month,and maintained greater food security throughout the year"

Hmm how interesting that the Homeless spend their money wisely. In total contradiction to the so called wiser Capitalists who frivolously spend money on useless and unnecessary things. And by Capitalist, I mean anyone who supports the ideology. Not just the wealthy.

Meanwhile the more practical minded poor are here spending their newfound resources well. But that's not all, remember being told that giving the Poor money will only be wasted on their drug and alcohol habits (as if all of them did drugs and got drunk). Well read this :

"The recipients spent more on food, clothing and rent, while there was a 39% decrease in spending on goods like alcohol, cigarettes or drugs,"

And btw, there's higher percentages of wealthy or otherwise well to do people who engage in drug activity, alcoholism and etc..than the Poor.

But but.....Homeless people are too stupid to know what they want or how to move on.

"One of the things that was most striking is that most people who received the cash knew immediately what they wanted to do with that money, and that just flies in the face of stereotypes,"

"For example, she explained some cash recipients knew they wanted to use the money to move into housing, or invest in transportation -- getting a bike, or taking their cars to the repair shop to be able to keep their jobs,"

Others wanted to purchase computers.A number of them wanted to start their own small businesses.People very much know what they need,but we often don't equip them with the intervention or the services that really empowers them with choice and dignity to move forward on their own

terms," Williams said. The article also mentions that those homeless that got out of poverty not only helped themselves and saved a large chunk of the money, but helped their loved ones and their children.They call it a "trickle down" effect.Although I don't use that term because

that sounds too much like the Republican "trickle down economics" which posits that wealthy people should be protected because then they will willingly share their wealth and resources with the poor. Something that has never happened or worked.The study doesn't mention whether or

not they helped other homeless people. So far, they stayed only towards helping their personal families. A lack of class consciousness will do that. But the results speak for themselves.

But but.....helping the Poor takes away too much money from US!

"The study shows there are advantages for the taxpayer, too.According to the research, reducing the number of nights spent in shelters by the 50 study participants

who received cash saved approximately 8,100 Canadian dollars per person per year, or about 405,000 Canadian dollars over one year for all 50 participants

.'There's a common misconception that the cost of doing nothing is free or cheap and it absolutely is not,' Williams said,"

And this isn't "communist propaganda." The study was done by a Capitalist group led by Williams who is their CEO. A group dedicated to long term solutions for the poor. But who by their very nature as Capitalists, will not be able to do it. Because even if the system itself

wouldn't stand in their way, Capitalism is incapable of stopping or curing poverty.But it's curious that even the Capitalists admit what Anarchists and Socialists and other Leftists have said for years : That keeping Poor People poor is detrimental not only to them but society as
