You could give every man, woman and child in Baltimore 30 grand cash for 18B. Every single one.

Of course that would cause more issues than help. My guess is about 5% would OD in a week and any smart and hard worker types would zip off and move out with the 60-180k their house hold just got lol

That's the lesson. You can't give them handouts. You can only bring then jobs and job training. Even that fails though because the welfare state makes life too comfortable to just sit on your ass and augment with a little bit of drug dealing, thieving, or selling your body in some way.

Iow, if we got rid of welfare and brought manufacturing back, they would work.

UBI people are retards also. Just throwing that out there for anyone who likes it.
