Imagine being poor in one of the richest places on Earth and being arrested for it, imo that's wild.

I get that begging is usually associated with a series of problems, but what are you supposed to do if you're actually that miserable that begging is your only option?

It doesn't sound like they're trying to solve the problem, but rather just remove the symptoms, idk
