She is correct. “Beggars aren’t choosers.” I once tried to give a homeless person a hamburger. He declined saying “I am vegan.” I said ok, then starve.
Many homeless and panhandlers aren’t looking for sustenance....they want cash to buy drugs and alcohol.
Not all of them mind you, but those ruin it for the ones that legitimately need help and won’t get it because people don’t want waste their money on someone with a substance abuse problem.
Same with SNAP, the misuse and abuse of that system is ridiculous.
the needy are greedy now.
I gave food, once, to a bum. He threw the whole tray in to the garbage. They can starve.
