Poverty isn't a lack of character; it's a lack of cash

Overly brief summary for those who can&#x27;t watch the video with sound: it might seem that &#x27;the poor&#x27; make bad choices and therefore they don&#x27;t have money. However, research shows that this is not the case and that a basic income would help the rich and the poor alike.<p>Personal thoughts: the speaker presents the research as unequivocal and while I don&#x27;t completely believe that we have enough data just yet, I do think these are some very strong indicators that we really should be giving this a try, either regional or country-wide, in one of the more pioneering countries. According to the speaker, in the end it should save money rather than cost money, so it sounds like it should be possible if we can get the political will together.
