    Glad I’m not the only.

    Sure it’s just a joke, but it does feed into this distorted rhetoric that giving money to homeless people will just lead to the money being misused rather than survival, which is absurd.

      Ah yes because most homeless people are perfectly rational and would not spend it on drugs etc.?

      I know someone who feel through the cracks etc. and got back on his feet. But clearly drugs and mental illnesses etc. are a massive problem where a lot of money can easily end deadly.

        So you’re saying you’d rather leave all homeless people to starve than risk a few of them using some money on drugs?
