    What’s your definition of “poverty”, citizen?

    Or “everybody”, for that matter.

    Any age range, or are children & elders out?

    Is citizenship required or merely present in the country at the moment this miracle occurs?

    Perhaps baseline cognition is required? Or are the sleeping, the mentally challenged, the comatose, and MAGAts excluded?

      Any working age person who makes under the federal minimum wage is in poverty. Children, the retired, and illegal immigrants don’t count. Realistically anybody not making a living wage for a 40hr week is impoverished.

      Hilariously, there are a great number of MAGA types that would be included in the people who would receive the $100k, but would vote against their own interests due to brain rot political talking points.
