To End Extreme Poverty, Give Cash — Not Advice | Rory Stewart | TED
Are traditional philanthropy efforts actually taking money from the poor? Former UK Member of Parliament Rory Stewart breaks down why many global development projects waste money on programs that don’t work. He advocates for a radical reversal rooted in evidence: giving unconditional cash transfers directly to those in need, a method that could unlock the…

How about bringing our jobs back to the world so that we can provide for our own families and don’t have to get money without work… This is disgusting

Instead of finding more ways to give stuff away, maybe we should teach those poor and starving people how to change that. Give a man a fish, teach a man to fish.

But they’re screaming for help at the lowest pay-rates they can do. Most poor people have jobs. Most people who can’t pay for groceries are, in fact, working. But they don’t get paid enough to eat and also cover the rent.

This is necessary.
Simplifying/Consolidating any required applications is a huge win and actually helps the people intended to be helped by these programs. The piecemeal fashion and insane complexity of the current systems are just a barrier. If someone truly needs this assistance they most likely are overwhelmed just trying to survive let alone find their way through a maze of red tape.

You people overcomplicate things and seem to think the legislation necessary doesn’t already exist. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Act is on the books and needs to be used. I’m sure there’s a team of lawyers, who were ready to draft something new for a premium, that will be very disappointed to hear this fact.

Here’s a better and cheaper plan to radically transform access to US taxpayer handouts: get rid of them. Her shaky emotional voice talking about kids growing up searching for food is really out of touch with reality. Yeah we really need to give more handouts to obese people with flat screen TVs and smart phones who couldn’t pass a drug test. If you think I’m wrong I assume we could happily agree to increase handouts for any American citizen who is clinically underweight or malnourished and who tests negative for drugs/alcohol/tobacco. Conversely we remove benefits from anyone not meeting these criteria. We also change what items are eligible for SNAP/EBT, no soda, energy drinks, potato chips, etc.

This plan will be struck down by our not-so-supreme court. No one will have any rights if the republiKKKons and Putin have their way.

One system should handle all of this.. it also means that 50% of people working for the government on the ones eliminated should be let go. There also needs to be easy to verify checks on if your still eligible and ways to actually get out of poverty.. teach a man to fish kind of stuff which means training programs attached to a job at the end before you start.. Its a net and should be there to catch you when you stumble.. not act as your hammock.

This is nonsense. Social services for the poor or struggling are intentionally difficult to access. This will only change when you get private money out of political campaigns. The rich WANT you to be poor.

This comment section is as confusing and convoluted as a surrealist artist vomit after a long night of binging. Man, I feel like my brain melted reading some of these comments! Anyways, the big picture that I got from this Ted Talk is that we need to make social assistance programs more accessible. The end. I literally could summarize her entire idea into a sentence. But, here she is taking the time to elaborate and to show proof of concept. It’s good, it’s sturdy, any successful country that supported its people have always succeeded. We are losing this country as a people. If we do not do the right things and hire the elected officials that represent the the people, the growing minorities that are productive and helpful Microsystems within our society, and not support a capitalist agenda because quite literally. We are living under the dystopic capitalist future.

no. Thomas Sowell has taught me enough to know that benefits don’t fix poverty, they incentivise it. Most of this thinking (in this talk) sounds delusional to me. People who really need benefits are struggling to get ahold of it because it’s too difficult? No, I don’t buy it. I think this is an idea to expand to welfare state which I believe will have negative effects ona country’s people.

This will inevitably be screwed up by incompetent bureaucrats. To this day I don’t have healthcare, because trying to use government websites to get a straight answer to which of the 40+ options for healthcare insurance is soul crushing to me, someone who suffers from Major Depression Disorder. I don’t have months of free time to wade through a mountain of information. Also, Trump effectively killed publicly funded mental health care in my area. Democrats and Republicans alike are both worthless, and have abandoned those who need them to actually do their jobs.

lets not put the cart in front of the horse .. before leapfrogging and getting ahead of ourselves . start with fixing people who work able to easily maneuver thru the bureaucracy of unemployment benefits due to unnecessary forced shut down of the the whole u.s economy for a year 1/2 … lets start with the the IRS and its inability to refund tax payers $$$ in less than 6 months … lets not worry yet about how easily 2 million non documented , covid carrying migrants that crossed our border and got handed cash payments and vouchers for hotel rooms … lets not worry about streamline coach busses and passenger jets to drop off non documented , non citizens in the dead of night to all areras of the u.s … and just like this admin and that nimrod ginger pasaki think that those 2 milion illegals will voluntarily check in on their free gov cell phones and show up to court on their schedule date .. and not toss that free gov tracking device ..
exactly HOW STUPID IS YOUR LIVE AUDIENCE AND APPARENTLY BY WAY OF CONTRATS AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON THIS YOUTUBE POST .. HOW STUPID CAN YOU ALL BE !!!!!! THIS IS NOTHING BUT A SOCIALIST PLEA FOR STREAMLINED DISASTER RIGHT TO THE FINISH LINE !!!!

In 2007 the system failed me twice. 1st time: the system allowed the Church where I worked to break the law due to a legal loophole so when my mother became ill, they forced me into a 12 week continuous family leave, an UN-paid leave that is supposed to used as the worker needs, but they broke the law and got an excuse. 2nd then when I had no income I applied for food stamps during this time for myself and my son, and I was denied b/c I would not go to court to pursue his dead-beat Dad who never contributed to his son’s support, clothes, medical, or dental. At that time the County of Marin had a judicial system that gave full custody to Dead-Beat Dads and I was not going to risk losing my son to an uncaring ex-parent. It was a messed up system with tons of excuses to deny you access to the services that my and your taxes provide, Disgusting time period of my life with no respect for the care I was giving my mother in her dying months and my son as a single mom.

You need a stop gap before people fall into poverty like UBI for middle class families and below to many people fall threw the gaps, like you make tp much money but 1 or 2 medical emergencies from being homeless and living paycheck to paycheck.
