LES f**g MILES
Seen too many homeless people that refuse to accept work to have much sympathy for them. Ive lived in Houston, Salt Lake City, Dallas and New Orleans among other places.
Worked in Houston as a roofer as a teenager for my Dad, seen many times when he offered work to guys panhandling on the corners. Not a single one ever took him up on the offer.
Ive offered to buy guys on the exit of the road holding the routine "Vet Hungry, Please Help" a meal at the McDonalds across the street. They never accept, they want the cash.
I for one do not buy the argument that people cannot find work. I see "Now Hiring" signs all the time. If they cant find a job where they are currently at, hitchhike to another town and search there. Why do they stay in a spot where there are supposedly no jobs? Yes, there are some people who are legitimately trying to find work that just cannot find it, but they are few and far between, and you dont see them drunk on the sidewalk or looking like they havent had a bath in weeks. Call me a coldhearted jerk if it makes you feel better, but if you want to work, there are jobs out there.
