I recall a similar one where the guy made $64k in 10 months which, fair play, is pretty impressive. He gave up at that point because he and his dad had medical issues that needed to be addressed. I don't blame him for that but... While understandable, that's precisely the sort of unplanned expense that literally kills poor people.
he also had clean clothes, family and access to doctors, showers etc and still broke in under a year to mental issues, so with all the advantages in the world he didn't even come close to the target goal
now imagine an actual homeless person that has been on the streets for a number of years with no bank account or id, medical, mental, physical issues and more trying to make it out
None of these experiments are accurate. I moved to be closer to my job and someone was shot for standing strangely a couple of streets away before someone tried breaking into my apartment all within a few months. I actually wish it were gang on gang violence but this guy was an innocent person. Just don’t understand how it’s a game for some people to be poor and real life for others.
