I choose to do neither. Giving money to a homeless person all but guarantees it will go to perpetuate a drug addiction and, at the very best, encourages them to continue panhandling, which is a stain on society any way you slice it.
These people need real help. Not money handed to them. Charities and our government fail to provide it. It's not my job to provide it. Giving them $20 isn't going to provide it. So I do nothing except offer support to anyone who genuinely appears to have passion and a real plan to make change.
A) I don't give money to homeless people, I donate food and books locally that goes towards kids. In my area, the panhandlers are known for rotating in and out at someone's behest who sits above them all.
B) There are ways to fix the homeless issue, but it is a very complex and multifaceted issue that cannot even begin to be approached until we stop sending all of our cash to other countries and bleeding the rest of it to illegals, DEI agendas, etc.
I don't agree. The drugs they end up getting make them more aggressive to begin with.
Locking them up is retarded too. The problem can't be fixed in the present state of the country, but just throwing money at them doesn't do anything either.
Yeah. Disappointing too.
I will always choose to be generous in person rather than allow an organization to manage my money for them.

I always give them $100, in hopes that they go buy the really good shit and overdose, which solves the problem permanently for everyone.
If panhandling doesn't pay they'll just start killing, better to keep them panhandling imo.

Or we could lock 'em up.
Or just lock them up.
For being poor?
