Not sure how effective it is and thought it was strange they highlighted Laws as a positive outcome. The minimum wage in Denver was 12.85 in 2020. The article said Laws was making 400 dollars a month and the extra 1000 dollars freed him up to be a better father. What the f#ck was he doing? He was working 10 hours a week if he was making 400 dollars a month. He had all the time in the world to be a great father. It’s difficult for me to feel sorry for people who don’t work, assuming they are capable of it.

Since i fall asleep reading, I only got through 3 pages. Their "control group" was given $50 a month.
Was any of the 3 groups given anything else, like mentoring, training, life planning tools. Or was it all just cash and then stand back and study?

That was a major ... hmmmmm. ... moment for me aw well. I think/ suspect, there is more to it than $$. I'm suspecting counseling, with an identified game plan.

Which totally screws the study, unless it was done for all 3 groups. Since I have ZERO trust in any of these click bait progressive "studies", I'm suspect. Also very happy to be proven it was a truly acceptable engineered study.
