Reply to comment by templedrake_xo in I love how much we pay these guys to stand around. there was 8 of them standing there doing nothing. later on when I came home even more of them doing nothing. by ResultedTag72

Having a view different from yours isn't embarrassing. The homeless are mostly awful and lazy. Some definitely need help but the three beginning outside my door this evening and trying to sell people hand warmers were just bums.

Have you ever thought that maybe they are not able to cognitively function in a typical way within the traditional job setting due to their mental health barriers? Perhaps selling arm warmers is the only form of income they are able to functionally generate during that time. You realize that not everyone has equal access to medical care, let alone psychiatric care. These are very real, very facts regarding this demographic. To make such a gross generalization that most homeless people are lazy over the factual ladder that I explained, is just so baffling. I’m sorry that you were socialized to think in such a narrow minded, black and white way. Sounds miserable.
