All these people talking about people they know who have assistance and would lose out with 1k a month... Guess what? Then if it is a loss for them and you don't need it, you can give yours to them and make a real difference with the money in your hands instead of wishing the system would give that person more. Tell that to berners. All those berners can give their 1000 to the people they keep mentioning and make them have a net positive.
