Or freeze to death in the winter, either. If someone is in such dire straits as that, all they need to do is walk into the police station and start pissing on an officer's desk. They'll get a warm place to stay and food to eat. Problem solved.

It's so appalling that it doesn't happen like that. Why? Because there are so many easier and better options. Ladyfingers gets the thumbs up on this one. thumbs up She got it.

Well, I'm happy to hear you've never been in a tight spot and threatened with homelessness. May Lady Luck always smile upon you, so you can continue to find stuff like that funny.

You wanna bet?

Not only that all that takes place,

but they{homeless} also get beaten to death by teens just for the fun of it,

instead of killing stray puppies. A step up -- sorta.



P.S. Pretty heartless statement, OP...

ladyfingers: Or go to a shelter



Sadly, we do not have enough shelters to accommodate the numbers of men, women, and children who need food, a roof over their heads, as well as access to toilets and clean water.

The homeless are forcibly ejected from campsites, libraries, and bus stations where they go for warmth and for toilet/washing facilities. They are roused from sleep on park benches, under highway overpasses, and from store fronts that provide some protection from the elements at night when the shops are closed. Many of them also suffer from treatable mental illnesses but have no access to the medication they require. Others are healthy and willing to work but are living in a broken down car and have no address to write on a job application and no access to a shower or clean clothes to go talk to a potential employer. I don't even want to start on the issues of families with children who are in these situations.

I don't have any answers. But the magnitude of the problem is staggering. sigh

P.P.S.

To be fair, I have to say there is a huge army of perfectly capable to work (to find work, and even working off the record) people who take a full advantage of the system and live off you and me.

I don't know why those who are in a really dire need don't have this financial help. A mystery to me.
