Giving poor people education makes poverty rates go down better than giving poor people money. Says science. We did the science. We keep doing that science. Nobody in privileged societies cares nor comprehends tho.

Wowow not a single of these studies compares and contrasts economic assistance vs educational! Besides it’s an intertwined issue. Economic investment ALSO equals funding for education?

Am I wrong? Does ‘giving poor people money’ NOT mean funding for education? Why does it have to be either or? How do these studies contradict what I’m saying?

Exactly. You lack any "empirical evidence" a.k.a. life experience, therefore you are simply discussing things you don't know a thing about. Being so, let me share a bit of my own life experience with communism and radical left politics. But before, let me just clarify that my statement on "giving poor people education makes poverty rates go down" isn't contradicting your statement about 'giving poor people money' - despite this being merely an opinion without evidence (despite you ask for it upon other people's) One of the issues with socialism is that it misjudges people obviating the human inherent ability to express individualism in any given way. By this I mean that there is no way to standardize how a human is going to react when something is given to them.

Guess what: giving everyone money actually improves educational outcomes and alleviates poverty. 2 for 1 https://basicincome.stanford.edu/uploads/Umbrella%20Review%20BI_final.pdf

‘Improves educational outcomes’ Only if such money is spent in education 🤔 ‘alleviates poverty’ Poverty is not only a material condition, if so then nobody would ever grow out of it, it is instead a combination of poor education (or lack of it) with material circumstances. Individuals can ALWAYS overcome whatever is thrown at them, just not if they sit and wait for money, help, food, or services are thrown at them.

I wonder why fewer and fewer individuals are able to make a living wage, yet productivity and profits are all at historic levels?🤔🤨 Ohhh it’s probably because EVERYONE ELSE IS DUMB EXCEPT FOR ME?!?🤤 If they just knew how to hustle grind hard then they wouldn’t be POORS huh?🤦

Bro chill. I don’t agree with you and really consider your ideology a total lack of life experience: something like a mind virus easily transmitted between privileged individuals of any capitalist society. That’s just me, however I never called you dumb, nor did I insisted in being smarter. On the contrary, I value you as an individual so with some luck MAYBE I could open your eyes to the reality that leftist today and always have been lying about everything, and that the system they (maybe also you) praise so much has led to extreme poverty, hunger, starvation and death. I know this first hand as I lived it myself.

Now in regard to the “historic” high levels of production these aren’t necessary truthful, the systemic flaws of the capital system as it is now have led the currencies to loose the economic power they used ti have - I’m no blind to this reality. Through yearly inflation and unlimited money printing, combined with technologic improvements they have achieved this so-apparent state of over production and welfare yet numbers are just higher because you’ll need more of the same currency to buy less. What is really advancing? Means to share information among individuals. This has proven crucial to transform the social dynamics, therefore you can be a socialist while living in a capitalist and privileged society, as it happens with every single young middle-class adult in developed countries.

Lol you think you're so superior to everyone else and have every correct answer while everyone else is lying all the time and has zero experience? Have you considered you might not actually be the god you think you are?
