Poverty is the biggest underlying cause of crime in a community. So anyone who really wants to reduce crime - instead of just wanting to see poor people punished for being poor by arresting them and taking what little they have - knows this is the best solution to the problem.

They dont want to reduce crime they want to beat poor people for not working hard enough.

Of course but incarcerating poor people is a huge money-making industry in the US so why would they want to change it?

Never known a career criminal who didn't want to be rich, rather than just not poor. So, maybe we should ask them to name their own figure, see how much it takes to make them happy, hand it over, and assume problem solved?

How does the logistics of this work? Why would anyone bother working and putting in effort in keeping society functional if you get handed money on a silver platter?

Well for one, people tend to want to work, not just sit at home. For two, "give them money" doesn't say hiw much. Income from work should be extra. Someone shouldn't have to worry that if they lose their job they'll lose insurance or even their home. Rhe system we have right now actively encourages employers to abuse their employees because they know they don't have any real alternative.

Not happy with that phrase, "give money to the poor". Poor people have pride and most of them don't like to be treated as if they're beggars.

Better to say: "never give a man nothing to lose". A man with nothing to lose is a dangerous man, and anyone with at least half a brain would know that. It's not so much about giving them money; it's more about giving people a stake and a safety net. If poverty is such a dire state to sink into that it's something be avoided at all costs, then you won't care what you do, or who you hurt, to avoid it.

Ideally we build enough machines to where we dont need jobs. I think people want more effort in instead of trying to actually end the need for it.

no need to look down on anyone. if you feel like giving them something go ahead. if not just tell them you're sorry but you don't have anything. i prefer to give out food if i'm at a light or something. i dont give out money because they'll just get blitzed.

Kobe > LeBron. It's only internet stat nerds who think Lebron is better. Watch the games and stop calculating Lebron's PER with your wristwatch calculator.
