We have limited resources available to help improve the world. Given this, we should first focus our resources on where we can have the biggest impact. Your idea appears to be focused on Low Income Communities in the US.
Relative to other communities in the US, this seems a reasonable choice. However, from a global perspective, there are many people who have a much lower income than those in the US. This means that even if your idea works, it is going to have to be particularly impactful to be as cost-effective as other ways of helping those in poverty (such as simply giving money to the world’s poorest)
You state that it is “Simple enough, very cost effective”
I agree that the idea is simple, and this is a strength of it.
However, you have provided no evidence or quantitative estimates to suggest why it could be very cost-effective. What are the likely costs? How big are the likely effects? What studies and research support your claims? How do the costs and effects compare to other ways we can help those in poverty?
Thank you for the insightful comment, the purpose was to hear ideas and thoughts. It would seem I need to answer a few questions regarding evidence to certain statements, I can do that in the next post, I’ll title it: Evidence to support A_Poster_Project
I understand your statement about a idea on this forum needing to have the biggest impact, but I figured this forum would support solid small ideas, and give thoughts.
I plan on implementing this project regardless, I was hoping to hear opinions, I really appreciate this thought.
I didn’t downvote. However, here are a few reasons why others may have done so:
The idea intuitively sounds like it could be beneficial. However, lots of ideas that sound promising either don’t work at all, only have a small beneficial effect, or sometimes even have a harmful effect. What evidence do you have (perhaps from similar ideas already being implemented elsewhere) to show that your idea will work?
