That's a great story, and glad for the donations, but how has he survived on the streets of Chicago without getting killed?


Maybe the entire city of Chicago isn't a jungle warfare like the media makes it out to be?

Macias says he bought 20 popsicles for $50


For starters, 20 popsicles! WOWZERS someone is going to be cold AF with diabetes.

Second, $2.50 for a popsicle is probably the reason he has been pushing that cart all his life. Price-gouging on popsicles

That isn't really price-gouging. That is the going-rate for a "pop" in Birmingham, so if they are the same in a big city like Chicago, I'd say that his price is reasonable.

That sucks for you guys because the going rate for a pop here is $1 - $1.50 with the latter being the good ones
