Fighting poverty. Bednets. Mental game

[CultureCitizen]

This is a mental game, it is related to poverty and how to combat it.

The scenario is the following . You have a substancial amount of money which can be used to buy bed nets to prevent communities in Africa from getting Malaria.
The cost of the nets is $10.

These are the choices
A) You distribute vouchers which allow buying the netbed for 100% discount
B) You distribute vouchers which allow buying the netbed for 65 cents
C) You distribute vouchers which allow buying the netbed for 1 dollar
D) You distribute vouchers which allow buying the netbed for 1.60 dollar
E) You distribute vouchers which allow buying the netbed for 2 dollars
F) You distribute vouchers which allow buying the netbed for 3 dollars



Relevant questions :
If people have to pay for bednets will they pay them ? (remember it's a poor country)
When people get free bednets will they use them ( or use them for other purposes like fishing) ?
Will free nets discourage future purchases ?
To test this last question , supose you give a second voucher which allow the persons to buy a second net for two dollars. Which group will buy the most nets?

I have no idea what your point is in this thread but I think it would be good for the conservatives on this site to see your OP. They all hate Africa... but they've also never lived in a world where buying a bed net was a prominent issue.

I'd be very curious to hear their opinion on this.

Well , part of the test is having a look at the different opinions regarding wellfare and its social impact, as well as its imact on markets. What would be your choice OldSchool?

I'd lift the ban on DDT.

The cost in human suffering due to this leftist ban is about 1 million dead a year.

We know that governments would use this since their children and themselves can get sick and die

Read "Dead Aid" Welfare is never the answer. Capitalism is. Do you understand??

In this case we are talking of people in extreme poverty. And while China's investments will surely bring development to Africa , in the long run. In the short term you could face an epidemic of maliaria.
So what's cheaper : distributing bednets or facing an epidemy and loosing human capital ?

too stupid and liberal as always they have faced maliaria for 1000 years. What they need are Republican family, religious, and capitalist values and not your Nazi liberal quick fixes that make things worse. .

Baiamonte, as usual your arguments make little sense.
You should at least try proving that providing netbeads with tax money is not pareto efficent .

Bush Gives Mosquito Nets To Fight Malaria Sweetness Light
Malaria Clinton Foundation

Decades (plural) would imply at least 2 decades. The article un Bush has a date of 2008, 7 years ago.
The Clinton foundation doesn't specify when it started distributing bednets, but it seems it started working in year 2000. That would be 15 years ago.

They have faced malaria for 1000's years. What they need are Republican family, religious, and capitalist values and not your Nazi liberal quick fixes that make things worse.
A sleezy American liberal will want to do to African blacks what he did to American blacks.
