When is the last time you saw a “Will work for food” sign?
Around here we have: Lost it all / Disabled Vet / Homeless and Hungry / Need help /etc. followed with a please help and/or God Bless. Some don’t even bother with a sign and just hold out a hat. Has the old “help me out because I can’t get a job” given way to “give me money, this is my job”?

Meanwhile they are shacked up in a decent home with 10 other Vietnamese/Salvadorans/whatever |

![]() ![]() I've seen several recently that I too thought were kind of daring, or even demanding and thought ![]() The ones here all seem to be white males between 40-70 Mom saw one a few weeks ago that she actually didn't feel like finished his "shift" and walked over to a parking lot and got into a car to drive HOME, and ran up the road to get him a hamburger. He had a sign that said "Hungry, Please help" She came back to the intersection with a burger in the bag and handed it to him. He said "I don't want that shit lady" and threw it down ![]() ![]()

The local news followed a few of the "homeless" around here and caught a few in upper-middle class homes with plenty of money, one guy using his kid to help get drug money, one using his buddy's kid and one guy they thought was a laywer who drove off in a Mercedes or something. The ones I usually see are lazy fucks that live in a trailer park a few blocks from Virginia Beach. I followed one pair to see them buy beer, Chinese food and wax for a bitchin 71 Dodge demon. Around here we have more jobs than bodies to fill them. The best I saw was "Student, broke needs beer...future of your country", he got a laugh and a fiver.

Now that the weather is cooling down here, I fully expect them at every major intersection. I have only seen 2 so far.
The local news did a story last summer where they dressed a guy up (long mangy wig and beard) and had him hold a sign on a busy intersection. He got $350 in just over 8 hours. The next day they gave him a new intersection (and a dog), and he got almost $500, and a 25lb bag of dog food.
