Prepaid phone cards. Higher per minute rates, but one needs a call back number to get even a dishwasher job.

Good point. Also, not all the people at a homeless shelter are homeless - some of them are there to work or serve in other capacities. I’m in a bluegrass band that plays at a homeless shelter in Madistan. None of us are homeless.

I taught at an inner city school in Dallas for 5 years in the 90s, where the majority of the children attending were labeled “below poverty level”. It never ceased to amaze me that the “poor” kids ‘couldn’t afford’ things like pencils, notebook paper, a dollar for field trips—YET they would come to school in Michael Jordan sneakers, wearing NFL jackets with the Oakland Raiders symbol on them (lots of gang kids at this school), brand new blue jeans that even I couldn’t afford on my teacher’s salary (started at $22,000 a year in 1992, woot!), and ALWAYS had $5 up to $20 bills to buy themselves dessert after getting their free lunches!!! Boggled my mind!!

Ya, how many of these people on public assistance have air conditioning, cable TV, x boxes, plasma TVs, cell phones, nice cars, and who the heck is paying for it all?

This country has the richest poor in the world.

You seem to have a finger on the pulse.
Just what is the difference between a homeless person and a bum? (besides some feel good name change like progressive for communist)

YET they would come to school in Michael Jordan sneakers, wearing NFL jackets with the Oakland Raiders symbol on them True that! I substitute taught in Detroit a long time ago and the "poverty kids" had some great clothes. They always had money for chips, pop, cigarettes, drugs, cable TV, video games, cars ... yet they were poor.

Read thorstein veblen and your mind will be less boggled.
Poverty means:
A)Very short time horizons.
B)Money spent on outward appearances of “wealth.”
Among other things, these are some of the pathologies of poverty. Those expensive sneakers or jackets may be the best things a poor kid owns. They are not viewed as “extras” that go along with a nice place to live or a long term financial plan, though that is what they may signal.
