If you’re arguing where he got his capital to buy the bobcats, then no, but using that argument, I suppose Jeff Bezos became a billionaire from being an investment analyst and not founding Amazon.

Truth in there but its harder to get in those types of joints these days as the background checks, education level required and etc has upped. Basically not as easy as it looks.
Right because a person that chooses to sleep in a tent under an underpass over a warm bed is perfectly sane

Fam you quoted me in the first place, I don’t even know what you talking about at this point. If you don’t think homeless people are lazy then what I said don’t apply to youYou did which is why I addressed you.

Sinister is a system
I only ever give to the Black homeless..
Cac bums are still racist and think they're superior to you and actually demand cash. fukk em
I feel the same way bruh. U know whats crazy bout that? My homegirl showed me a Doc about cacs with 6 fig jobs hitting the streets acting like bums. Dirtying themselves up making up son stories bout being Vets etc.
there was one cac in front of the post office i usually go to always out there tatted up lookin like a methed up travis barker. Im there parked for 15 mins and it must’ve been a slow day cause i saw him pick up his sign and book bag then walk down the block. As im leaving i drove pass a blue civic parked with him in there counting singles
Matter of factly speaking, MJ is correct; a homeless person who can ask for change would appear to have the requisite skill set to work at a McDonald’s. However, there are barriers for said homeless person which would be mental or physical in nature.
Facts,
homelessness is in general usually a mental health issue, or physical health issue. However that doesn't mean Jordan is wrong. You not doing anything to address any of these issues you stated by giving them some change. The city, state or Government have to step up and provide facilties to assist people like that.
I agree with this sentiment. It happened to me.
I was homeless early in my 20s. Napping on couches and sometimes park benches. How I rose up was having the discipline to go to the labor yards at 4am so I could be one of the first in line, being a hard worker on the jobsites I went to, getting steady work, and eventually stacking the money to get an affordable weekly hotel room. Got a nice outfit for interviews, and went to a job fair at a fast food place that hired on the spot. Fast food was my choice cause I knew it would cut down on food expenses.
Then I got a second job at another fast food spot. Stayed working a third job on my one day off at the labor yards. By the end of the year, I was in a new car, decent place with 3gs saved up after expenses. Before long I upgraded my skills/job position and was partying down in Miami on my days off (4 hr drive from central fla)
Too many people are homeless because they have addictions or fukked up attitudes that makes no one want to associate with them. Some homeless people aren't even homeless, panhandling is a form of income for them. Too many people pat themselves on the back cause they gave spare change to someone, when all they doing is feeding an addiction, and enforcing the belief that begging is easier than working. Not to mention, if u live in an area with a sizeable homeless population, people give them food and in return said homeless person will take 2 bites and throw the rest on the ground, cause that's not what they wanted.
If u want to do something for the homeless, we need a change in the social structure of our society, and minimum wage needs to keep pace with inflation. It makes no sense, I work for a company owned by a millionaire who feeds the homeless at certain events, but turns around and is burning out his employees cause he won't hire anyone for more than minimum wage, and as managers we don't get compensated for being short staffed. I have literally seen employees sleeping in their cars or sharing living rooms cause their pay is out of wack with cost of living. I mean, stop feeding the homeless and start paying your underpaid borderline homeless workers so they don't end up homeless you fukking jackasses.
I agree with Mike. Stop begging, go to work and reap the rewards. Pay your employees properly so one week missed from work isn't life or death. Defund the military, let's establish a social safety net so a rough time in someone's life doesn't put them on the street.

I agree. Giving them money is mostly just giving them the means to speed up their death. The conversations around homelessness need to put the responsibility back onto government but you have people saying shyt like 'i don't want to pay higher taxes to support people who don't want to work' when in reality the people being taxed would be the people who have more money and assets than the next 6 average people combined.
You have no clue what you are talking about. You said-
Which is wrong because the majority of people who are on the street are NOT mentally ill. So theres no "usually" to it. Many of them are mentally ill but most are not. Thats why you got a definitive "wrong" as a reply.People who choose to be on the street are usually mentally ill
