low-income

One reason to prefer the Medallion system is that both of the latter two options end up disproportionately impacting low-income people.

The fed govt gives subsidies to insurance companies for low-income folks who sign up to the plans in their individual states/locations.

However, the free market has generally been a terrible provider of low-income housing solutions.

That said, this system prevents chain voting (a mechanism to make sure the votes that parties buy from low-income people are not changed).

PD: I've worked for the biggest credit report company in Latin America, and one thing I noticed is that low-income people generally DON'T default on their credit, especially mothers or low-income workers.

There must be low-income housing available in a city to ensure that there are places for low income folks with jobs to have shelter.

Rent control may be necessary in extreme situations where there is a lack of housing for low-income families, but only as a last resort.

It's like if you're IQ is not in the top quartile, go directly to the low-income, do not go pass go, do not collect $60-100k a year.

Also, if we're talking about low-income, alternative housing for singles and couples, is a janitor-included shared bathroom down the hall even a problem?

Techies can't rent low-income housing under normal circumstances.

No doubt the Norplant case is terrible but I am unable to see the problem with offering low-income women a monetary incentive to get an IUD.

> This March, a state legislator in Arkansas proposed a bill that would pay unwed, low-income mothers on Medicaid $2,500 to get an IUD.

Most likely, it refers to exactly what it says: poor people presenting for certain services; younger, minority, and low-income Americans are more likely than the population at large to be "smartphone-dependent", that is, have a smartphone as their sole source of internet access.

I'm not talking about the software industry, where everything is very open and full of opportunity, but about low-income jobs and how the people working in them often have such incredibly complex constraints about them that that talk about "investing in your skills" and "differentiating your skillset" is totally disconnected from the reality of life.
