Anonymous Coward User ID: 70663772 United States 06/19/2022 06:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We drove by a fire station panhandling with their boots yesterday. I found it ironic that employees of a municipality whose wages are paid by the taxes charged on the citizens' property, purchases, and rights are by the letter of the law legally allowed to panhandle. |

In the suburbs where people pay $10,000 Quoting: Seething -$15,000 property taxes for cops that don’t stop that. What happen to vagrant laws? The difference between them and you? It's a series of unfortunate events. You can be there too, and it doesn't take much; Careful where you toss your judgement. |

User ID: 81069379 United States 06/19/2022 07:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hear people make a lot of money panhandling. It's harder work than you might think, but at least they aren't working for the man, and they probably don't pay taxes on that money since it's cash. On the other hand, most people don't carry cash anymore and that has made panhandling increasingly less profitable. Your BigSister has some sage advice and opinions to offer characterized by wisdom, prudence, and good judgment through reflection and experience if you will receive it. |

You see people running the exact same scams assuming you have not seen them before. One suit wearing man needed some money to help as his family was in the van (not visible). I remember one girl asked for enough money to get back to the suburb,which happened to be the last stop, therefore most expensive stop. Saw her two weeks later with the same issue, I asked her how she planned so poorly that this happened again. |

If you look at how the charities are funded You will see how the for profit charities Have an atmosphere at the management level That is forever encouraging and promoting for more addicts The front line level workers really want to help But at the executive and upper management level They are only looking at how to always get even more funding To the point where they are acting in bad faith The for profit from charities have gotten into bed with Human organ traffickers child rapist and cannibals. |

Lookin like a bum, saw same guy at 7pm in the mall across town ... Had a wad of bills that would choke an elephant ... Easy $5000 cash he pulled out of his pocket in the food court to pay for his sandwich. See the same guy a few times a week on different busy corners. Glad I didn't give him any of my cash and drove by him. Won't ever be making a donation through this method ever ... Find a homeless person not begging for money and help them instead with a meal or hiring for an "odd job" ... If they have the brains and balls to street beg they can take a fast food order and earn cash ... At least play music and be a busker for cash. Lookin to help people? The ones actually in line at a food bank with kids in tow would be a better option. |

Even if I end up in the street I still wouldn’t need to panhandle and BOTHER PEOPLE. I’ll have my ss check directly deposited to my account. Now if you’re talking about just living in the streets, I agree. Costs of shelter are retarded since Clinton in some cities. Now the rest of the country lately. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83709662 United Kingdom 06/19/2022 08:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | During the Tudor times in England - the workshy used to camp-out in the forests and get up to all sorts of mischief - a landowner could bring one of these miscreants before a magistrate and have them compelled to work on his land for a yr for a fixed salary. It was a very tightly regulated society, with lots of freetime and no massive beaurocracy to enforce it - all done by citzens themselves, if they saw a crime being commited they bought the offender before a magistrate and would recieve half the fine imposed upon the miscreant. |

The ones actually in line at a food bank with kids in tow would be a better option. True, you have to be discerning. Went into the gas station shop a few months ago. Two black teenage youths sitting outside. One asked me for a bread, said they qere hungry. I gave him a bread and a small bottle of soda. The other day a black youth passed me on the street, asked me for Money for food. Told him i'm sorry and i myself am very poor. Could hear him mouthing off behind me, i just thought: Ja ja bla bla. The other day my son and i were in the cheapest supermarket chains in my country. Black youth comes up to me and ask if i can help him with food. I genuinely could not, i'm clinging onto survival like a tick, as it is.i took my dunglasses off, looked him in the eyes and explained this. He looked surprised. In this country there's this perception amongst blacks that whites cannot be poor. In the provincial capital there's lots of whites at the traffic lights, living like this. I don't give them anything, i can't afford to help them either. I doubt they nake as much as the beggar described in the OP though. Everything here is Heinously, preposterously expensive, there ain't really a place where they can get some bang for their bucks, except maybe some Paki shops. Thank any and all gods and deities for Paki shops, my son and i would've starved otherwise. |
