I think you totally misunderstood the whole point of the handout. It was to make people a little bit more self-sufficient as well as strengthen the personal economy situation. 10k handout to poor people, if used in the right way, can make a lot of difference.
Unfortunately, they started taking about crypto wallet, but after that, just place it free to use directly in peoples bank accounts. That´s the big mistake, as many poor people also make poor judgement as well as have a drinking problem. Something that makes too much of the handout go that way.
What they should have been doing, is to use the app system they already put in place before the 50/50 application. There they could see if people who applied were really eligible for a handout, they could control what it was spent on, by blocking alcohol and tobacco, as well as that system also gave small shops a big boost in sale and that way contributed to the business economy as well.
