@ahltorp @scottsantens Exactly. Making these goods more expensive is not going to help poor people. That's the reason I gave this example.

@stamberry @scottsantens How would it be less affordable to poor people if they get more money?

@ahltorp If only poor people get extra money, nothing special will happen and these people will be able to buy what they really need. All ideas for "basic income" that I have read about, were like "lets give some amount per month to EVERYBODY, including rich people". If that would happen, inflation is going to eat all the benefit the poor people would get. I really think there's no better option than supporting poor people with money, but this support must be selective.
