      How does this money actually get dispersed? It is not given directly to people. It is filtered through bureaucratic channels to ensure paper pushers get a 9 to 5 and pension to say they manage shit. People that need assistance routinely have to jump through hoops to qualify and are constantly at an inconvenience to appease these agents for the money to ultimately get funneled to the police somehow.

        Sounds like a great argument for oversight. I don’t know what level of oversight these funds have.
