This is akin to how homelessness causes social death.[1] Poor Kenyans are seen as a debt market, not whole people who both can and need to contribute productively and get money back for their efforts.

This is why I'm against UBI. This is why I'm trying to figure out how to help poor Americans, including homeless Americans, access ability to earn an income.

This is why I'm trying to figure out how to start a pilot program in my small town, which has a huge homeless problem for such a tiny berg.[2]

I don't know how we solve it globally, but I can see a path forward for some portion of the problem in the US. I just don't know how to get buy-in.
