"homelessness makes a case for universal minimum wage"
Seattle is spending $100,000.00 (San Francisco spends a similar amount) per homeless person and it gets worse every year:
"At the same time, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal, the Seattle metro area spends more than $1 billion fighting homelessness every year. That’s nearly $100,000 for every homeless man, woman, and child in King County, yet the crisis seems only to have deepened, with more addiction, more crime, and more tent encampments in residential neighborhoods. By any measure, the city’s efforts are not working."

It would be cheaper to give each homeless person $15/hour for doing nothing than to continue what they are doing, but as somebody else said, they would probably make poor purchasing decisions.
