Haha, that could be a new growth industry, shipping entitlements cases from state to state. A never-ending musical chairs.

It’s all about not following rules. I find it hard to comprehend myself - but some homeless folks don’t want to follow anybody else’s rules. On anything!

This is why they can’t hold down a job and when you can’t hold down a job - that means following other people’s rules to get back on your feet. This is harder than sleeping off the street and grifting off everyone else.

I took a friend in for awhile and learned quite a bit about the mindset. Never again will I do it. I offered them free room and board and assistance in getting their affairs in order so that they could become minimally employable and get back on their feet.

This worked - for awhile. Then I found out that my friend preferred living on the street when the rule, “come home every night” became oppressive. Sure - my place wasn’t the best - but they were safe and had food. It was heartbreaking for me.
