Whoa. CBS just figured out that a lot of panhandlers are professionals. Film at 11.
“Gypsies, tramps and thieves
We heard it from the people in the train they’d call us
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
But every night we’d hop in our Audi and count the money.”
They sound a lot like bloggers.
“I can’t comment on individual cases that might be begging fraud, but I do know that it does not represent Roma as a whole,” said Carol Silverman, anthropology and folklore professor at the University of Oregon.
Not all Roma are deceitful, lying beggars. They are also deceitful, lying ‘craftsmen’ peddling wildly inferior home repair services.
And every night the men would come around
and lay my mama down...
My Dad told me that he traded me to the gypsies for a three legged cat.
He said after a day, they brought me back and put a curse on him.
And the liberals in the Bay area contribute because they feel better about themselves.
In recent years, I’ve noticed many allegedly destitute or homeless standing in highway median strips, panhandling, especially at left turn lanes where the cars have to stop for the red light.
I’ve heard that many of these people are frauds.
Some make $100 a day begging??
Add it up, if they work a normal five days a week, they are getting $500 a week tax free.
I don’t know if liberals are the ones giving money. The liberals believe someone else should help the poor.
I’m sick of them all coming up to me practically anywhere, gas stations and such. One weird woman approached me at a gas station wanting me to use her credit card to pump gas into my truck. When I questioned her she told me it would help her pay her phone bill. WTH? I told her I didn’t understand what she was doing and she never mentioned me giving her cash for use of her credit card. I suspect she didn’t tell me the scheme when I was not playing her game whatever the hades it was. Freaking Weirdos out there.
Crowdfunding
Dad kept old Tripod the cat.
He was a good mouser, but then, so was I.
Talking to a friend yesterday I remarked on how many beggars there are on the streets of Manhattan and on the subway trains. Some openly brag about collecting $200/day. NYC has very high taxes and extensive social services. You would think that NYC taxpayers would figure that they had already paid for the care of the indigent, but they seem willing to add more on top, I guess. Sure conflicts with the NYC image of being hard and unsentimental, but I saw it repeatedly with my own eyes.
Back in the day, watched a woman with baby begging at a McDonalds in Burlingame.
She must have taken in at least $200 during the lunch rush alone.
Watched her walk down the street a few blocks as she was leaving, turn into a side street and drive out in a late model Mercedes Benz SL
With your reputation you could become wealthy blogging.
“Whoa. CBS just figured out that a lot of panhandlers are professionals. Film at 11.”
I figured out that they had puppet masters about 27 years ago, when, literally overnight, all of their signs instantly stated “Will work for food”.
It really isn’t that hard to figure out...if you willing to walk some pavement, or just read their signs.
I heard that someone went out and offered work to the people with will work for food signs. They had few takers.
They sound more like gypsy hillbillies.
I probably wouldn't like the target demographic much.
No. Idiots suckers in various stripes.
