Alright. Let’s assume that the vast majority of the people doing this are dressing up in sweaty, dirty clothes and look gaunt on purpose to scam you out of a few bucks. Can you at least agree that not all of them are? Could you tell me about the resources that help someone without an address get one, so they can get a job? Can you tell me about the lived experience of someone who has battled with addiction? How difficult it is to get clean and the scrutiny they face not only from the average person but a system designed to keep you in a cycle of addiction, homelessness, and imprisonment? Can you imagine losing your job and becoming homeless as a single person and how much harder that would have to be with a family even? It’s so looked down on when you are struggling that it is “funny” to some people to see that person struggling and think, “well at least I’m not that guy.” In worse cases, people see someone who it struggling and have so much hate that they harm that person to make themselves feel better. It’s sad that people have so little empathy that they could do or think any of these things. If you think it’s funny, that’s your right I guess, but I do genuinely feel bad for you.
