Cash transfers to poor people is starting to look like an effective way to alleviate poverty. Despite the old stereotype of poor people blowing it all on booze and drugs, in reality, most people put it to good use. This is also another reason why UBI has started gaining more support.

Homelessness and poverty needs to be tackled by getting these people jobs.
Huh? Bezos giving away money likely isn't going to lead to inflation. The money supply is held constant here.
