Were you able to get help from the agencies that are designed to do that?

Having a gym pass is super key it would seem. Never been homeless but if you have a bike and a gym pass you ain't doing that bad.

I'm glad that you was able to go get help and better yourself.

I hope you're doing better, mate. It's hard to get out of the cycle.

❤🇺🇸 Thanks for your service ! Vets first 🥇 💪

homeless panhandlers are earning rent for the motel.

It shouldn't matter honestly. U should give from ur heart.

@@kidclassic1534 How about you can give from your precious little holy-than-thou heart all you want. Empty your bank account even since you're so generous and better than everyone. But stop telling other people what to fucking do

Exactly. ​@@kidclassic1534

I have felony convictions from years ago. I served over 11 years in prison. Now I work everyday and I've held some decent jobs. I also own my own house. Life is all what you make of it.

Well I have a felony myself and I working as a normal person.

@@earlmartin1030 I’m praying for you

@@DJ-769 yes thank you so much.😊

A lot of people hire ex felons to do dirty work like manufacturing for near minimum wage, and you do get felony expunged after 8 years. It's the opportunity cost of making more money panhandling compared to that is the problem

Cash tax free

Best comment! ❤️🙏🏼

Right! Resources my butt, lol what a $10 voucher to go to salvation army for a pair of underwear & a pair of jeans & shirt.. plus they can sign u up for section 8 housing but the waiting list is 4 years lol so tell me all these other glorious services you have lady?? What services!??

They should help the hard working low income families so they don’t become homeless. The homeless are a lost case. Prevention is the key

Don't be mad at the people, be mad at the system.

Ya they are posted up in most sheltered. bus stops

The last city I lived in had a law banning pan handling because of public safety concerns. I do feel bad though. not a lot is being done for homeless people in this country.

@@rocpet3theres plenty being done for homeless people. I feel like the seniors(65 years old and up), veterans, physically disabled and families (mom dad and child or baby) should be prioritized for housing.

Yeah in Oklahoma City Oklahoma you're supposed to have a permit in other words go down to the city and pay them about $25 only the cops say they've got too many other things to take care of instead of checking to see if you have a permit

That should change, just like people should not give them money. The homeless have ruined every major city on the west coast and then some

I see them all the time standing in front of Walmart in Chillicothe Ohio. I had one trying to bum money off of me at Krispy Kreme donut shop in Chillicothe. He said he needed money to get something to eat and I just gave him a donut. I'll give a food item but I won't give any money.

@@earlmartin1030 Exactly !! I ONLY offer a meal for them, 3/4 always refuse to eat and just ask for the money. I'll feed ANYONE ANY time but never give money any longer.

Judge not, lest ye be judged

If a person is feeding themselves and hungry and they get money. They should be getting food that last not McDonald's. Then they won't be complaining about they hungry. I've stopped asking. I got $100 in one day and on the next day got another $100. I look young and cute so it's easier

I never give to panhandlers. To quote a song get a job with more pay and your ok! Home Depot is always hiring and you don't need any skills to work there! Most panhandlers are lazy or drug addicts! @@harold.one.feather

Tell me this is any different than working at Black Rock Capital

I believe it.

That's a lie.

Yes, Mormons in Utah are very generous.

I mean it could be true what evidence would go to show it’s a scam. Just because you have a suit on doesn’t mean he’s rich and didn’t forget his wallet. Idk why someone would even find it lucrative to wear a suit and try to defraud people for 30 bucks. It’s plausible.

I should report you. That is illegal to collect money while collecting ssi

@@DJ-769 and you think she will report her cash from panhandling???

@@DJ-769 if most people do does this make it right?

@@DJ-769 it actually is 841 for a single person I just looked it up. And yah I'm 1992 it says it was 440 or so.

@Adventures of Mia Wallace right because some of these people may find themselves in the same situation in the future.

That’s my dad

@Cara Cicatriz he was very smart. He told me once he tried to avoid sleeping in state parks

I admire this guy

Some people that stand on a corner have a great skill that your ignorant of,some know very well how to ask and thier not doing nothing as you imply,thier fund raising and its work but you don't understand that,and some recieve more money then others because they work hard at it. Try standing on a corner for 8,10,12 hours a day walking back and forth with the sun beating down on u,the snow freezing you,the wind blowing you around and the freeze rain soaking you to the bone,also the dust mites biting and the exhaust fumes sticking in you it's hard work,and it's a skill very few have and for those that know how to ask correctly recieve enough to pay thier bills,help others financially and start a buisnes,that's right some of us save those dollars and change in order to employ themselves with thier own well paying buisness. Some of us never had a mom or dad and grew up on the streets but we don't murder steal or burglarized we politely ask people and thank GOD thiers people who give.

Furthermore we're not someone else's slave we're free,we live free , we're our own boss,we can stop when we choose,take a brake anytime we choose ,take off days and just read a book or do our chores,but one the good things is it's better then minimum wage and tax free,we don't make the capitalist slave owners rich by working hard for peanuts and crumbs while they cash in on our,sweat n labor just like your doing.

@@anthonymazar3178 it’s your free will to beg for others money and its our free will not to give it to you. Do you have any self respect for yourself? In the city where I live a lot of the homeless break into peoples businesses, cars, and garages and steal whatever they want and what they didn’t work for or pay for. What an awful thing to do. A lot of people who panhandle who pose as being homeless actually aren’t homeless at all, they just lie to others about being homeless. No one likes being lied to. I’m all for helping people who really need it but I, like so many others, hate being taken advantage of by people who stand on busy streets begging and make more money then a lot of people who work at actual jobs.

@@anthonymazar3178 as much as I want to feel sorry for you I don’t have any sympathy for you.

@@psychedelicpython We should not judge them since we are not yet in their situations. I agree that a lot of homeless people are lazy but not all homeless and beggars are lazy, most want a job but it takes time to get one for them. It's ok to be homeless if you really need to and you don't have a choice but it's bad when making it as a profession. Yes it's your choice not to give but we are not entitled to judge others.

I feel most people in the US are pretty hard workers, these people are just ridiculous if they think going three years without a job is acceptable. Especially over the last seven or eight years where many cities can’t find enough employees and pay well above minimum wage. For many it is a choice and I feel the percentage is much higher than most want to believe.

@@dickhitswater4836 Great response btw glad you see it, im in California i see homeless now everywhere but i also worked for the EOC and volunteered at the Christian charity programs for homeless also housing programs because i wanted to help them but after 1 year I realized it wasn’t worth it when 70 percent of them just want handouts. The problem is welfare and ssi being to easy to obtain now. Just have kids and get welfare or be overweight and qualify for SSI

@@sanchezs7614 Exactly, I used to be involved in charity work for the homeless as well and still do work with people actively looking for work and getting the help to get there. I’m happy to help anyone who’s willing to help themselves but it’s shocking how many people purely want the handout and that’s it, they turn their nose up at any prospects of employment and responsibility. It’s why I still try to help anyone who’s actually trying because they are trying to lift themselves up and to me it doesn’t matter how you got there I respect the fact they’ve decided it’s time for change. I work with someone who used to be homeless and they told me the hardest part about getting clean and back on their feet was that there were so many programs that catered to them that they didn’t need to change. They said there’s an abundance of help and programs if you’re truly looking but when you can get free food, clothing, tents and sleeping bags, phones and monetary assistance that the necessity to change just isn’t there so the desire to wanes as well. Even though I’ve worked in that area for years it was shocking to hear it from someone who lived it.

Nowadays there are some people who think that working hard is considered overrated. With that mentality it’s no wonder why those people think that society owes them something in return.

@Adventures of Mia Wallace beggars dont care about the community. They dont even care about themselves but you sure do

💯

There's a homeless man on the same corner I pass every day and he leaves his trash every single fucking day. It's sad and I get it but come on

Their paracites!

maybe it was fear of getting the virus at the time

Take a guess

@Adventures of Mia Wallace 🤣 i'm kinda starting to like you the more i see your comments 👍 Most of these ignorant people have never truly been on the bottom or lived 2 seconds of the lives that some of these other people deal with every day.... but they are still the loudest and the first to cast stones. 🤦‍♂️ Talk about pathetic.

Or not homeless, there's countless possibilities of why someone may have a home and still be hungry, broke after paying bills, parents don't give them any money and can't get anyone to hire them no matter how hard they try.

sometimes, the shelters are not the safest places for a homelesss person.

@@r3altalangodfrey39 shelters are HELL. sadly i am about to be holding a sign later today in hopes of avoiding the streets or a shelter again. After several years of making close to 50k a year i have lost almost everything due to needing back surgery and not being able to work. Just made my sign 30 minutes ago. Wish me luck 🤦‍♂️

@@AlBundy641 i hope you do well, man.

@@AlBundy641 Were you able to get help from agencies that are there to help folks like you?

The other year Oakland California spent over $72 million on talking about homelessness, paying subcontractors to write about homelessness and in the end, no homeless people received any benefits and the state stepped with trustee state prisoners and "cleaned" up the homeless camps. Meanwhile the real estate speculation was brutally ended when the virus closed down Oakland and the even the Oakland Raiders moved out...the skyscrapers are mostly empty, grocery stores and big box merchants left, the military bases were closed, schools are closing, teachers are on strike every year, the police have only 10 police officer to patrol over a million people.., now in comparison across the bay in San Francisco, the city smells like urine, feces and irony, cars windows being smashed, businesses robbed, shoplifters running in massive groups Back to Oakland, I like saying based on what I witness, this is the city where technology and drama come to die, Borders is gone, Bed, Bath & Beyond is gone. At night, there is nowhere for any tourist to eat nor to shop for groceries The city of dreams is now the city of blight and economic collapse, persecution for the homeless is not conducive to economic growth, that is how blight starts when the economy gets tight, and working capital land are gone.....

Each panhandler his their own reason for being out there. Alcohol and drugs put most of them out there and they gonna get high before they get a room.

Also, many homeless shelters are cults.

If you go to work, you have a guaranteed amount of money each hour, day and week.

40 bucks is 40 bucks. The tax part is irrelevant. You cant just make an extra 20 dollars appear......that's like saying you can make 10 out of 8 + 5......which is 13.....so...not 10.

@@ER-uy7ct Uh... okay. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@deathwrenchcustom he’s right lol

@@ER-uy7ct It's not irrelevant. If I get paid %100 by my employer, 30% comes off the top for taxes. So I only actually see $70. If you give a homeless person $100, they actually get $100. It's not debatable. You can't disagree with it. Math doesn't care about your feelings.

@@deathwrenchcustom Nor does Meth...

When you give to a charity that cash goes payroll,bills,expenses,maintenance, gas,transportation and what cash is given to the poor and homeless. Don't give to a charity give your money to a poor person that really needs it,and then you've done something u know is right.

Panhandling pays $40/hr? Let me know where this is because I was unaware of that. Either way I wouldn't resort to that because I have a few things I admire...Self respect, pride and a willingness to give back to society. I EARN my money sir.

The problem with donating to non-profit organizations is the high salaries of the officers holding top management positions within those organizations. Most of the money go to pay the high salaries/administrative expenses and only a small portion are actually being used to help the needy in the community. Churches are classical examples as most of the money received from their donors are being used to pay the pastors’ salaries. A large percentage is also being used to pay the salaries of other church employees and to maintain church buildings.

@@petersmith2040 hear hear

Those programs are frauds. Its activists and politicians trying to grow their budgets. Doubt that? Name one city that has fewer bums after spending millions of dollars. In Denver, the city Homeless coordinator is paid over $300K/year. Do you think he wants to end/reduce homelessness? His retirement pension will be $300/year. no way he endangers that pension. BTW, Denver "homelessness" is up 25% in 2022.

They don't help single females they only want to help the blacks and white men no one wants to hire a single female struggling to find a job

How bought reporting them to unemployment,they need to be held accountable.
