Erm, poverty means a lack of resources.
So if you need to simulate poverty, don't consume anything.
It's called fasting. And it costs nothing, AT ALL.
https://www.simulationtrainingsystems.com/schools-and-charities/products/bafa-bafa/ this is the product they are selling for $329. Basically a game to teach assimilation by making "winning" understanding each other from different cultures.
From the website:
"After an initial briefing two cultures are created. The Alpha culture is a relationship oriented, high context, strong ingroup outgroup culture. The Beta culture is a highly competitive trading culture. After the participants learn the rules of their culture and begin living it, observers and visitors are exchanged. The resulting stereotyping, misperception and misunderstanding becomes the grist for the debriefing."
Ya gotta be pretty out of touch with reality to need a poverty simulation to understand the concept.
Maybe hire fewer elites and the problem would solve itself.
There's the problem:

Sounds retarded.
The money should just be spent to help people.
I remember having to 'simulate poverty' when I was working at a preschool.
I was probably making 6.50 an hour...
yet they had to 'teach' us about poverty;)
What a joke. We are living in absolute scammers hell.
