Yeah there is no difference between a delivery guy who at least has a job and a choice vs a homeless guy with literally no choice if it comes down to survival.
Its not that hard to draw a long when you are not a complete dumbass
Then they’re busking, people have made a living doing that since at least medieval times.
Fact is, working for your money is effective even if you’re begging. People are more likely to toss a dollar to a guy with a guitar or some other gimmick than they will to somebody just sitting there with a sign. Is it cruel, or gross? Maybe, yeah, a little bit. Extra sucks for the disabled homeless, I do understand that. But being a street performer is a legitimate job in some places. People will pay money for entertainment whether you’re on TV or on the corner of 5th and MLK. If a homeless person wants to dance for a dollar I say let them. Begging for spare change is legitimately a competitive business. That can make the difference between getting food and a haircut or not.
Sorry, but… What an arsehole. Let poor people dance through stupid hoops to earn a lil extra. Fuck you, just tip or don’t. You know? Like adults.
Nobody is forcing these people to take on the challenges. And clearly they enjoyed them enough to personally write a get well card.
Guess having fun isn’t allowed anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re feeling slightest bit of pleasure from an altruistic act, REEEEEEE!
What if I let homeless people dance for money?
Where does one draw the line?
