If anything, eliminating cars would probably improve the roads since there will be much less wear and tear. People will still be walking there and want a good walking experience, so improvements will still happen.
If [...] youre not trying to save them, what does it matter?
That's the problem I'm currently addressing, isn't it?
If you are trying to save youre not keeping hard cash youre investing it.
The general recommendation for savings is to first create a sufficiently large emergency fund. This is meant to cover things like sudden medical bills, repairs, and other things of that nature that can't wait. This needs to be quickly accessible, so it rules out GICs. I'm guessing a plain savings account would count as cash that can expire, so that's out. That leaves us with bonds and equity. Both have a fair amount of volatility. This isn't a problem if you have enough money because everything trends upwards in the long term. If all you have is $500 saved up and you need to draw from it during a market downturn, you've probably just lost $50 of your hard earned money. That's a huge amount when you have so little. If you have $5k and you lose $50? Whatever, chump change.
Secondly, rich people definitely do not hold on to plain cash. The vast majority of their wealth is going to be in some form of investments, so if this is meant to prevent wealth concentration, I don't see how it'll manage to take anything away from them.
Most likely you'll be getting the older bills that are close to expiry if you're poor. It doesn't matter how much time they're given when they're minted.
salt, sunflower oil and some vinegar
I mean, add an egg to that and you have mayo.
They live hand to mouth.
And they'll stay there if they can't save up any money.
Besides the temperature differential that everyone else mentioned, there's also sometimes the need to defrost the outside bits, which means running the heat pump in reverse and undoing a bit of the heating it already did.
It requires a certain amount of flexibility. Some are born with it, others have to work for it.
I like how the title implies that it targets JD Vance rather than all current and future vice presidents. Fuck that guy in particular.
Sounds like something that would be trivial for the wealthy to circumvent while being very expensive for the poor to do the same. Someone with the means can just pay someone to continuously refresh their money with new money. Unclear on how people will deal with transactions when different bills have different values from what's written on them.
The problem with directly buying them food is that it has to be eaten within a fixed time window. Money can be used to buy food tomorrow, or it can even become food five years from now while being trivial to carry around. Getting money affords you the chance to take some time off from panhandling to attempt to better your situation because you know you have that backup food in your pocket. You're not going to get out of homelessness if leaving that street corner means you're probably going to be one day closer to dying of starvation.
Can't we just stick to pinky swearing that I'm an adult?
With such a glaring oversight, I don't know how I can trust the rest of this infographic.
