Comment on In One Colorado Town, People Experiencing Homelessness Can Sleep in Their Car — if They Have a Job

  I gave a beggar $20 once so that makes me an expert.

  Reminds me of this:
  The only thing punks and old nazis in my German hometown had in common was their love of dogs, often German shepherds.
  I witnessed the following scene:
  Punks with dogs are begging. Old man with shepherd dog says “I’ll give you €20 if you spend it on dog food.” Punks answer: “Nah man, we’re gonna spend it on beer”
  You see they could have just taken the money. How’s the old guy going to make sure?

    The old guy makes sure by buying dog food at the store, and giving it to the punks instead of cash.
