Silicon Valley City To Host "Poverty Simulation" to Show Wealthy Technology Workers What It's Like to Be Poor... for Two Hours

Sounds like a pip and super-useless too:

The city of Cupertino, California, will host a "Poverty Simulation" with two organizations designed to help the residents of Silicon Valley understand the poverty that surrounds the wealthy community.

The City of Cupertino and West Valley Community Services will sponsor the two-hour Poverty Simulation on Nov. 2 in joint partnership with Step Up Silicon Valley, an organization focused on reducing poverty in the community. The event aims to immerse participants in the "reality of a Silicon Valley that grows in disparity as much as prosperity," according to its advertisement.

"The poverty simulation replicates the struggles low-income folks face trying to navigate the social services system," Sujatha Venkatraman, associate executive director at West Valley Community Services, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "Participants will have to rely on information and access to resources. In the process of doing so, they can get evicted, lose their jobs and other crisis."
