I read an article on this in the wsj yesterday I'll see if I can find it. They described 5 people who received it and how it impacted their lives two were in Africa and they both received about &600 each and both built homes with it. One was an failed entrepreneur with 6 kids in Finland who said he would start another business with the money he got and how it allowed him more time with his kids. The one in the US was a writer in New Orleans and was receiving about $1,000 a month and said it allowed him more free time to be with family and enjoy himself. My thoughts are if I'm working harder and more hours than you are to provide you with more free time or to support your six kids, wtf? |
