It serms incredible to me to give over a billion dollars to a random person.

    San Francisco spends $700 million a year dealing with their roughly 7,000 unhoused people. They could just give every one of them $100,000 a year and spend less, and probably have better results.

      Pretty sure that if they didn’t spend 700 million, there would be quite a lot more than 7000 unhoused people.

      No they couldn’t. If being homeless paid six figures there would suddenly be a lot more homeless people.
