recipients in lower income areas three times higher than those in higher income countries. the cash provided detectable benefits with people of household incomes $2,300,000. i guess the biggest question here is how do i sign up for this study? they gave $10,000 to 200 recipients and then measured their happiness for a six-month period or i guess after the money ran out. does money buy you happiness? i don t know. i think it makes life a little easier. they were just handing it out here and there. is this bidens student forgiveness handout? this is the cause of inflation. democrats can start blaming it for inflation. something the democrats pushed for in the primaries
if i signed up for this study, that is where i would end up. the headline is completely wrong. it s not that money makes you more happy, if that money makes you less happy. i have highlighted it for you geniuses that are so much smarter than me. people earning $10,000, that received $10,000 are twice as happy as those earning $100,000 that received $10,000. people that got 20 grand that year are twice as happy there people that got 110 grand. it s not money that made you happy, it was a gift. the surprise of it. the fact that that was money they did not have. labor, collateral, time in, that is money from nowhere. at 20 grand, that was providing necessities for people. at 110 grand it was providing luxuries for people. eat a steak and that is way more
little bit of a sugar rush. like when you eat a candy bar and you feel good for a little while because you got it out of your system. these $10,000 infusions could make anybody feel a little bit better. it brings you up in the new crash real fast. i talk to a lot of people that are very wealthy ceos and have inherited money and a lot of them are not that happy, as a matter of fact. you re talking about apples and oranges. i think anyone could benefit from a check but a reason why money overall does not buy happiness. cannot cure illness, cannot take away certain problems people have that they cannot get over. as i did my math, 200 people get $10,000 each. to million-dollar study, does this prove we spent too much money on studies? there was a control group that got no money.
about that. i will start buying off-road diesel. catch me if you can. [laughter] from the department of too many studies, a reputable medical journal finds in a study that kids wearing masks in school mitigates structural racism. again, too much money. we apparently jumped the shark in terms of studies. it is this is like the perfect democrat mo study. democrats used the last election, used covid to win the last election and used racism to win elections for decades. it is only a matter of time before nancy pelosi starts touting that study. and they love their masks. maybe she will come back with the designer masks. dolly parton getting $1 million from jeff basals and the money can go to any charity of her choice. she has two charities. i love dolly parton.
math. that later ends up not being true. that s beside the point. she said the program would close the wealth gap between black and white families by 31%. i thought how interesting, how did she get that number? i read her website and read the dmo study she cited, and they did a study where they said that it s all valued of homes go up, first of all. and go up the same amount over time, this would close that wealth gap. she is assuming that home values always go up, and no matter where you buy them, they go up by a lot. if there is one thing we learned in the last housing prices and financial crisis, it s that s not true. there are a lot of people out there, like myself, who lost money owning a home. it s not always a bargain, not always a good thing. in fact, it s very sticky. so she is advocating the government sponsoring down payments for people. first of all, that s not true.
