Prove it. Walk away from your wealth, take a job as an hourly worker in a coffee shop, live as they do, start with the zero assets that a typical coffee shop worker has, make no use of your connections or wealth for the duration of the experiment, and we'll agree that your age has contra-compensated your higher IQ and education level. And let's negate your existing knowledge of how to write business plans by stipulating that no plan will be written for 4 months, and that any loan taken must be under the name of a co-worker similarly situated (no assets, no credit history) and cannot have any guarantors including yourself. Any loans must be from an FDIC-insured Bank or NCUA Credit Union or a regulated institution. This experiment must be done in a tier-3 mid-western or southern city or rural area in a red state and you can move if you wish to, but within those location parameters. These last two stipulations are to negate the advantages of better public infrastructure or public services. Oh, and you cannot rely on public services such as social security - your only source of income for the experiment must be your wage work or assets acquired through the experiment, any medical services must be either free to indigents or through your work or work insurance or paid for through experiment income or assets, and must not be medicare and the like that you're eligible for. You can reference your previous work and life, but only in generics, and not in any manner that conveys an advantage immediately or over time. If any advantage is proffered based on your prior life, education or knowledge, you must decline. Needless to say, taking advantage of your credit history would be a no-no. Obviously, you'll need some stuff, coffee shop workers have families too, so say 7 sets of clothes worth no more than $60 per set; a feature phone for safety and your IDs. If a smartphone is taken, it cannot be traded or sold. I'm debating whether or not you're allowed a car with current value less than $1000 and purchased where you decide to experiment. Since you said destitute people are desperate to get across the border without analyzing why, let's say not. You cannot lie or cheat, nor make promises to people based on your non-experiment assets, including your name. Any family or friends that accompany you are subject to the same terms. The number of companions cannot exceed 1. Any travel or life during the experiment must be supported only by income from within the experiment. How long would you like to run this experiment for?
