They must be eating something if they're not dead yet. I think America is doing a good enough job of the homeless and jobless can survive off of the crumbs of capitalism.

Quick reminder that there are people in Africa literally starving to death and looking like corpses. If someone in America looks like a corpse, it probably had something to do with meth.

There are plenty of resources that homeless people can take advantage of.

Problem is...homeless shelters won't let you shoot up heroin or get drunk, and most homeless would choose getting fucked up over a warm meal and a bed any day of the week.

Depends. Most homeless people will come across some money one way or another. The ones who truly want to thrive will buy the basics, like fingernail clippers and a cheap hair clipper set and use it in a park bathroom, or wherever they can find an outlet. Sometimes they'll borrow these basics from another homeless person.

Most of them build a sense of community with each other.

But I'm not going to feel bad for the homeless here in America. They're practically fucking thriving. The worse thing about being homeless in America is the stigma and the embarassment. That's it. Once you get past that, it's real easy to survive and thrive. There are food programs that give shit away, and welfare/ ebt.

Don't worry about the homeless. They're doing alright. If anything, we need to get homeless kids away from their homeless parents long enough for the parents to get their shit together unimpeded, and the kids to grow up in a mentally healthy environment until then. That's our only homeless problem.

Also welfare in my country (Canada) is fucking shit and only really applies to those who don't even have a job, I had little to no savings, a 40 hour burger flipping job and lived in a fucking boarding house and the welfare services said I was "well enough off."
Are they fucking serious? Some faggot Mudslime can come here, have 12 kids and have a fuck ton of money and a job and get bennies but I can't get shit while I was born here? Honestly fuck welfare it's designed to keep the poverty class in poverty.

While slactavists cry about these things on the Internet Christians have been feeding the homeless for centuries, even in America.

All edginess aside, fuck the homeless.

I used to give them food out of my lunch because I know what they will do with a dollar.
That was until I noticed a popular beggars corner was covered with rotten fruit, in opened water bottles and other random trash.
Half them don't want food, they want beer. If they are starving it's because they choose to starve

When I stop at a light and see a bum get something from 2 or 3 vehicles I am literally sick to my stomach knowing he could have just made 3 tax free dollars in the minute it took the light to change.

Maybe if Winnipeg wasn't so full of beggars I'd be a little more sympathetic but frankly I wish they'd all starve to death (or die a quicker less painful death of they prefer), either way having them removed from society would be the only positive contribution to society they might ever make

I've worked with the homeless and in my experience the vast majority are homeless buy choice. Very few of them are homeless as a result of disability and they all get money from the government and free healthcare. There is no reason anyone in America should starve to death and I'm pretty sure no one does.

Its not uncommon for homeless people to travel with toiletries and hygiene supplies. I worked security at a detox center that was mostly used as a shelter for the homeless. I had to check all their bags. They carry a lot of stuff and they often gather in groups. Likely there is always someone around to do haircuts. Also, they get paid by the government to be poor and some of them beg for change. They always have some amount of money for expenses if they aren't junkies.

Most homeless are mentally ill or addicted to alcohol or drugs. This is why they can't hold down stable lives...it eventually ends when they fuck up their job due to lack of responsibility and lack of sufficient savings that make it past 2 paychecks of money. Once they get evicted once, they end up in a cycle of problems, at a time they have the least energy and self esteem.

Mentally ill, such as bipolar or schizophrenic sufferers have the added complication of thinking they don't need to be on medication always, and thus the cycle of job loss or lack of responsibility to keep a job.

I live in Florida. The homeless I see year after year after year are snobirds. They are only here when it's too cold back home. Yes, they travel with the seasons. They don't live outside, but must group-house somewhere near the intersections they beg at all day. I see amputees wearing military fatigues in his little wheelchair, and with the toes missing on the other foot, I'm going to speculate it's not a war injury but diabetes. Another guy is a former postal worker who has no nose. Lost it to skin cancer, likely, and wear a prosthesis, except when he's begging, where he looks a pitiful horror with this jack-o-latern style hole in the middle of his face. Then, I see them at Publix later buying convenience foods at the deli next to me, freshly showered, and beer!

Another segment of homeless have records that prevent them to live close to schools (sex offenders), and finding a home is impossible, legally speaking. So, they band together and live off the grid.

I'm going to tell you that there is medicaid that handles the poorest, ie free healthcare. The real suffering and hungry people are the poorest people in the US, single moms and their kids. Kids whose only meals are at school breakfast and lunch (free), are like 70-80% of most schools now. Donating to school food banks is a way to reach displaced kids who's mom got evicted.

I think you have to look at the root problem and that is why do people become homeless?

I personally believe it is centered around greed. Most people are not satisfied with the bare minimum at all and in fact to have no backup resources is seriously frowned upon.

I understand that concept of reserves and having more "just in case" as it is a survival mechanism, however that concept gets radically warped when we look at those who should be drowning in their own excess.

You need shelter, food, water, friends, and some mode of transportation. There are many other necessities, however most people do not feel secure unless they have way more than what is needed.

I believe it comes down to trust. The fact that we trust in a system like money more than our neighbors, friends, and family is indicative of an exploit in human nature. We can't hope and pray that others will treat us nicely and take care of us, so instead we resort to making economics a very exact and extremely unforgiving game of which homeless people are the ultimate losers.

There was no financial check. It was meant to target those underprivileged and financially unstable, but guess who showed up?

At the time I was a waitress in a very small town (16 years old during this I think). About 85% of all the people lining up for that free meal had eaten at the restaurant I worked at that WEEK. Some of them multiple times. They're locals, and the town is known for having a significant amount of oil, and most of them are fucking LOADED. So, instead of donating money or time towards feeding those less fortunate, they decide to jump on the bandwagon and get a free Thanksgiving meal THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

If it was like one or two people that did it, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the vast majority of people in there were there just to get a free meal for the fuck of it. They lined up with their beer bellies hanging over their belts and their old wives caked with makeup. What's more, THE WORKERS WERE EATING THE FOOD BEFORE THE LINE EVEN OPENED. So, later in the day when those who have no financial support and just wanted a nice Thanksgiving lunch/dinner showed up, we only had stuffing and cranberry sauce to give them.

It was the most disgusting display of human greed and gluttony I have ever witnessed.

Actual rage.

Did you tell anyone off, or awkwardly beta out?

I'd have belligerently informed the resturaunt regulars what was up. This isn't a good personality trait, but I wouldn't have been able to pretend to be less angry.

Was it awkward when you saw them later? Did they ever tip you? If they were shitty tippers, I'm actually judging you somewhat.

Well, I worked at a mom and pop shop. I quit about half a year before they had to close. One of the owners died and the restaurant went downhill ever since then. As for the regulars, I can't remember if I waited on them specifically or not but I'm sure they came in and ate. Locals usually leave 2 or 3 dollars for two people with a $15-20 tab. So not abhorrent, but not necessarily generous. Most of them came in for Sunday lunch which was the busiest shift of the week. I didn't have time to remember faces while running my ass off.

I didn't tell anyone off at the event, I was an awkward 16 year old and wasn't very outburst-y. I just wanted to serve people who needed food and go home. My mother was volunteering as well, and I can't remember if she said anything to anyone. She might have, it was 5 years ago so I don't really remember.

In Norway, the Salvation Army gets a lot of food that's expired or close to the expiration date. Some of it keeps much longer than the date on the package, and the rest I think they freeze. They give it out to anyone who asks, and I think they also deliver.
I have a friend who rented a room from me a few years back, and he'd go there to pick up free food, because he was cheap as fuck and spent all his money on weed. He'd get two full grocery bags about once a week. Lots of pasta and bread, but also lunch meats, cheese, yoghurt, eggs, canned food and various frozen dinners. Some of it would have been quite expensive if bought fresh.

Actually did some research, and it seems the Salvation Army has recently made a deal with several of the big supermarket chains in Norway, in an effort to waste less food and feed the poor.

Bullshit. Even in Norway there are opioid junkies living on the street. I've seen documentaries. Nearly all of our homeless are drug addicts that don't want help because it would mean that they would have to kick their addiction.

I have no idea, I quit volunteering there because I went off to college the next year. I'm assuming that if there is still another dinner then it keeps happening unless there are some ground rules put in place.

I guess another story is that close to my college there's this fucking guy, he's this scrawny, toothless black guy that's always trying to bum cigarettes off of people even when they aren't smoking. Anyway, there's a Chicken Express close by and he always asks the female students to buy him a chicken dinner. He'll jump up and down like a child and say he's so hungry.

If someone's THAT hungry, I can share my food. I had 9 dollars in my pocket and I could have bought some bread and peanut butter and given him a few sandwiches. But he complained that he couldn't chew white bread and peanut butter because he didn't have any teeth. Explain to me how you eat chicken dinners. I don't even eat chicken dinners.

I told this to my friend who's only a little younger than I am and she felt bad for him instantly. This guy preys on girls like this, because the boys see through the bullshit.

Despite it being a college town, there are actually a lot of people that go hungry and that don't have food daily. The school just set up a bigger food drive program, which is nice and necessary, but people will always try to abuse charity.

Some homeless people don't want to be helped, haven't you seen The Master?

In my town small town of Monrovia, California (70% white population probably nicest community in cali) a bunch of people were bleeding hearts for the homeless. They were so sad that they got their money together and purchased a house for them. Well guess what? They turned the house into a fucking crack den and the city had to bulldoze down the entire home. You can go on our town's webpage and people still cry about how sad it is to see the homeless out our library park. However, now the homeless do fucking drugs at the park. What these bleeding hearts don't realize is that these homeless are openly doing drugs in front of children and creating an awful environment for the kids. Its all fucked. Fuck the homeless, these people do not want to be helped. There's plenty of opportunities for them in our society but they just want free fucken hand outs so they can go buy some crack.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not one of those people who wants to child-proof the world, I'm a firm believer that children should harden the fuck up. For the love of fuck though, kids should at least have a decent environment to play in at the park without these homeless crack heads.

Yet now my mother in law took a few stupid memory tests that require you to remember some character names and failed and they suspended her license when she acts and drives just fucking fine. They haven't even proven anythings wrong yet.

As cringy as it sounds, I've been wanting to get back in to making movies. Was planning on setting up a kickstarter for an /x/ related project. I haven't don't anything creative-wise since I was in high school, but i was good at it. Starting a family kind of fucked shit up for me.

You can do it man. Family should never be a fuck up, just more motivation. They might be your biggest time consumer, but they'll also be your biggest support.
