I do for some of them but I don't donate.

Regardless of how they may have ended up in that situation living on the street is a desperate way of life and a sign that someone has just given up control.

Would Walmart or McD's hire someone who shows up to work every day off the street and smells like complete arse?

BS - I'm trying to find the article from last week where a Louisiana man lived homeless in SanFran and he received $650/month from the state + $200/mo in food stamps. He said it was the easiest money he's ever made and all it took was a phone call to get it. He lived in a tent city and said he had Prime & Netflix on his cell phone...so why should he seek work?

If they spend a week in the shelter without doing drugs they will work with them to get a job. They have to stay drug free and pull their weight though,....and they wont. Easier to beg.
