yup. Most of them are essentially adults who said "fuck it, I'll just do drugs till I die". the more comfortable we make that lifestyle through handouts, the more we will create.
I no longer have any remorse for turning away panhandlers. they've got food stamps, so they're not hungry. they've got the shelters, so they have a roof if they need it. They will not take any of the money that you give them and put it towards bettering their lives, they will use it for drugs or slightly more expensive food.
Exactly. You're already paying for it without your consent via taxes. Pan handlers are getting you to double dip. Assuming they aren't flat out scamming. It is so fucking obnoxious getting stopped at that red light while one of those motherfuckers with their sign awkwardly stares right at you for what feels like an eternity.
Staring is nothing to complain about. In some ways, I would prefer them to shut down the shelters and wasteful administrator salaries and let them live in their california shanty towns.
The NYC ones that walk up, knock on window, pointing to their sign, or too lazy to even make a sign, and then complain about only getting a dollar (they expect at least $10) are the worst. Especially on holidays. I never give them anything but I overheard them before fleeing that shithole city. The nasty ones should just rot in prison.
I guess that's just a West Coast thing. I have never encountered one TOO overly aggressive like that. Though the gas can motherfuckers will sometimes come up to you. I hadn't considered the idea of varying breeds of homelessness... makes sense.
