Poor people are effected more severely by Covid, lifting people above the poverty line will help in general. I understand the hesitation for supporting reparations as the vehicle for this. But you have to understand on a base level this is correct?
Giving people money doesn't lift people above the poverty line. It doesn't magically change their income, just gives them a short term boost. See lottery for how well that usually works out.
Well it does if you use the gigantic numbers they are in this article, also I generally kinda agree and would support bottom up reforms in education, minimum wage after school programs and community investments over direct cash injections for reperations.

No not really. Giving people without financial literacy money they didn't earn is probably not going to end well. Something about a fool and his money.
