New study gave $7,500 to 50 unhoused people - eviltoast

“They did not spend more money on alcohol or drugs, contrary to what people believe, and instead they spent the money on rent, food, housing, transit, furniture, a used car, clothes. It’s entirely the opposite of what people think they’re going to do with the money.”

    What, you think people involved in the study would just get their buddy who’s between places at a convenient time $7,500? That couldn’t be more than like, 10-15 of these people!
