1. I think that it is ridiculous because all of the fortunate people can't even live with that much amount of money for three days, and these people in in poverty need to live with this much for a whole month.

I don't think that $610 is helping that much. I mean of course it helps people in poverty a bit, but not enough for food, clothes, clean water, etc. I think people living in poverty should get a bit more than $610. It will at least help cover basic needs by giving them more money. A way we could help is by having a fundraiser to either collect money, or food for food banks. See you guys on Monday😄

I don't think $610 is a lot of money to have because they need to pay for food propably once a week or less and then they also have to pay their rent. I think it would help them a little bit, but it is going to probably be gone in a week or so. There should be a marathon for people who live in poverty and it can come in the fall,(maybe winter), spring and definitely summertime, because then they can get maybe a better place to live, some more food that would last them 4 weeks or more maybe even some electricity, well that's my thoughts! See you on Monday!!!

I personally think we should increase our basic welfare and like what the lady said she could only live for 2 days in that kind of welfare and the other lady in the beginning said she can't even pay rent with 610$$ and all of this should be an alert for the government to raise the basic welfare

I as well think that we should increase the welfare plus the lady could only live for two days in that welfare witch Tbh is not fair and is really sad. And the first women said she couldn't pay the rent of $610.

I think that $610 a month is too little to live on. Because, you need to pay the rent for your house, which is about $800 a month, and to pay for food each month, and that is about $500 - $600 a month, so already that is over $610 a month. And, you need good health care, clothing, etc.
