You enter into a contract with each national government. It obviously won't be perfect, but I doubt any other method will be better.

- notahacker 4y agoThe problem then becomes that some of those dollars end up going to one person rather than 10 million people, and government effectiveness at distributing the money across their population is inversely correlated with where the people that would benefit most from receiving a dollar live (this correlation exists within populations of countries with good banking systems too: your working person that wouldn't pick a dollar up if they saw it on the street probably gets a dollar automatically paid to them via the same system they receive tax rebates from, but many homeless people don't)
- NicoJuicy 4y agoThere will also be overhead fees ( eg. Banking) which need to be concluded in. Either way, some of that money will always end with different people ( banks or persons). 25% overhead fee would be the extreme minimum due to the small amount per person.
- ALittleLight 4y agoBut why would the national governments agree to do this? Most people wouldn't really care if they got a dollar or not so I expect that there wouldn't be overwhelming public pressure for most governments to do this, and the governments would correctly think that doing this would be more trouble than it is worth.
