> We saw this during the pandemic when people in formerly low-wage jobs got a lot of cash assistance and stopped being interested in low-wage jobs. (Remember all the "help wanted" signs and early closing hours at local restaurants?)
Unwilling to work or temporarily not desperate to stay alive? How many receiving assistance were still working, just doing it less?
The only studies on outcomes I recall is that a lot of kids were no longer experiencing food insecurity.
I can’t imagine they were very compelling studies if the only changes they could come up with was “some kids were less hungry”
Someone doesn't understand the effects of food insecurity:

I don’t understand the effects of food security because I think there’s more than one problem?
