>And the proposed solution doesn't fix that. Most of those people don't have a problem with unexpected expense once a year. They don't budget and are short on cash every month. So now imagine Bob needs money halfway through the month. He takes out 50% of his pay. He uses is for immediate needs and than has to live at 50% of his pay for the next 1.5 month.
This is extremely paternalistic and shows how little you automatically think of someone who isn't paid a lot of money. You think that people who don't have money, their problem must be budgeting ("stop eating all that avocado toast!!"), so you need to slowly ration out their money "for their own good." Complete ideological BS.

- zo1 5y agoHelping and guiding people in your community when they need it is no joke.
