I lived in CA and WA long enough to meet many of these people… if you give money to homeless charities they’re spending it on sex parties and drugs after they pay off their bills and bought some baubles.
The other joke is that most homeless just want to live on the street and do drugs. They get so used to getting away with everything it ends up with stabbings and pushing people in front of moving buses. One time I saw a homeless guy trying to kill this guy in a suit with a pair of large scissors. Turned out the guy was the sheriff of King County and shot him. That was back when people were getting attacked daily walking near the courthouse in Seattle. :shrugz:
