There's an explicit global angle here. In many parts of the world $5k is way more than minimum wage for a year

I understand, but then wouldn't you reach 5x more people if you handed out $1000 instead?

I'm not against the idea, I'm wondering where the $5k is coming from. It just seems arbitrary and not very much without a proper justification.
