Why *is* @mattyglesias sure a generous no-work-needed child allowance would “avoid…welfare dependency”? ‘Flesh this out!’ editors scream.

I wouldn’t count on it, since (I’m told) corporate wokeism–and ESG in particular–is driven by demand from guilty rich investors. They seem unlikely to become less rich or less guilty anytime soon (especially if they get protected from any losses).
