I live in a van therefore I’ve lived all over the country. I have seen panhandlers. In fact I used to give to them when I was young & naive. But rarely do I see panhandlers in my current California.
To your other points, tipping low-paid service workers is traditional and plenty of customers despise it but at least those workers are WORKING.
Grocery store checkout charity begs are ignored by 99.99% of the population. 0.01% of the population who donates to those things are idiots.
You think I have issues. I bet you don’t even see your own issues. Are you just a rage bait/engagement bait commenter?
like $1,000 a day, when I earn less than that working 10x as hard at a real job.
The answer is zero, but you are too full of yourself to admit that, because you think you are better than them.
You’re not.
You’re worse actually, because you’re a liar, a proud one who won’t admit it even when you’ve been caught.
I have, entirely unironically, met and known meth and fentanyl addicts doing their damndest to get clean and go straight, who are better people than you.
You need to fix your bullshit detector because it’s clearly broken.
Go ahead and keep thinking that people who take meth & fentanyl are better than someone like me who’s never touched drugs or alcohol in my life because one of my earliest memories at age 4 was hearing my father come into the house staggering drunk & sounding all scary, and I made a decision at age 4 that I will never touch any mind-altering substance. I loved my dad, I was a daddy’s girl and it shattered my heart & world to see him unwell & struggling. When I was 14 he took himself into rehab because he had discovered cocaine and it was destroying his life and career, and towards the end of his rehab they invited the family to come in for family group sessions and that’s the first time I had cried in years. When I was 21 my dad was still struggling with alcohol & cocaine and he hung himself. I’m 50 years old now and I’ve remained a firm teetotaler because I know better.

Yep, you’ve seen panhandlers.
How many of them did you meet who make:

I am not a rage baiter, I am a bullshit detector.
Streets ain’t kind to bullshitters.
