He said he pulls between $200 - $300 a day at intersections around Baton Rouge. Whether true, I don't know....

I just don't believe this but I hear it all the time. Where does the money go? I pass some guys every day on my way home from work and they are there at least 4 days a week. If they were making even $100/ day where's the money going? $400/ week for nothing but food and cheap booze is a lot of freaking money. They have the same clothes on, same shoes, Etc.

Obviously they are cracked out, but if someone could make $200/ day for 4-5 days a week they'd be well off as in literally middle class.
