This is roughly the equivalent of giving an American ~$42k. I think that amount of money would have a huge impact on people’s well being.
Note: I looked up Kenya’s per capital GDP which is ~$2k USD. Based on on the article stating they received $50 per month, than means the lump sum was 60% of the GDP. 60% of the US’s GDP per capita is ~$42k
It’s interesting, because this is a widely known concept in the finance world. Lump sum investing in the stock market is more profitable than dollar cost averaging that same amount over time ~66% of the time. It seems that holds true in non-stock market investments into people as well. They’re better off getting a lump sum investment into their accounts than having that money DCA’d to them.
Anything a chiropractor can do that will actually help, a PT can do better. They’ll also teach you what exercises to do to prevent needing to see them again.
A chiropractor will just tell you to come to them more often, and take more of your money over time.
NGL, the mom is pretty dang cute herself.
There are numerous science, sociology, political science, etc communities…
Regardless, if you don’t want people to question the news source it was probably a mistake post it (here or elsewhere) instead of posting the thing you actually wanted to discuss.
Then why share a shitty article from a biased source instead of the study directly?
Decided to read the article for shits and giggles.
They are blaming BLM for police refusing to do their jobs. Also they seem to be blaming them for the spike in murders during COVID lockdowns, which seems more likely to be related to everyone’s mental health breaking down due to the pandemic.

Yeah, that seems like a totally legit, unbiased news source to me…
Thank you for your service
Some guys were checking out Ken when they are rollerblading into the city.
So we should take away something that is necessary to someone helping themselves (have you tried to apply for a job or take a class without using the internet recently, it’s required), just because some people don’t care about living in squalor?
If all they are doing is “loitering” to use the internet, then they aren’t doing anything wrong. It sounds like the problem is simply the number of people and the neighbors didn’t approve. In that case, the truly win/win option is to provide greater access points to free wifi so people don’t have to congregate in one small area. This outcome only hurts people.
I’m not sure, since I had the post open and read through the article/comments before writing mine. But maybe it’s the same bug that impacts both commenting and opening the selected post.
I’ve been to places that had free municipal wifi, mostly at libraries and bus stops. It seems like a small service that is generally helpful to people without access to their own wifi. I think the better solution is to have more places with free wifi at night so people don’t have to congregate in the one small area.
There aren’t many places the unhoused are allowed to exist in public and cutting them off from essential services only makes it harder for them to better their situation.
Super weird. Not sure how that happened. I’ve heard there was a bug in Lemmy adds the comment to the wrong post, but first time it’s happened to me. 🙃

But they gave them 2 years worth of funds, so you would double the number.
