If you write a check for 1M to every person in America, you help the poorest; if I have $0 I cannot afford anything; you give me 1M now I can get about 1/300M

If you write a check for 1M to every person in America, you help the poorest; if I have $0 I cannot afford anything; you give me 1M now I can get about 1/300M of the total of things. I assume rents (and other things) will rise even more in Seattle, but not to take the whole increase; the 1% will always make lots of money, but hopefully the bottom 10% gets a slightly higher piece of the pie
