go to a homeless shelter and feed them there with the provision that they must get off the streets and stop begging in order to get food

Or we could give them housing and feed them? Cheaper than what we do now.

we do with the homeless shelters but they don't want to go there, would rather beg and rob people, they want drugs and alcohol.

Thanks for bringing up drug use. That is nothing but a call for Medicare for all. Like I say homeless is a symptom not the solution.

medicare for all is needed but has nothing to do with recreational drug use. they are lazy bad people and just want to be on drugs all day, that is why they don't just get a job. the solution to homelessness is to ban begging for money and arrest the people that rob people, and give no bail.

you can see how it starts. as a kid, doesn't do well in scool, and not only can't do college but is not smart enough for a trade. what else is there. join the military. then leave because not smart enough to stay in and be an officer and rise in the ranks. then you're a "vet". Do drugs, get homeless. Get a cardboard sign saying you're a vet. Ok well get off the streets then, stop begging, stop doing drugs, go to homeless shelter, get clean, get a college degree or trade, make something of your life. Never make excuses, don't try to rely on fetish for vets who stupidly signed up for illegal wars.

boot straps is one thing and yeah is mythical. but economy is actually booming. don't need bootstraps to stop taking drugs.

Seems like one of the many fine ways to go to jail. He should be proud of himself.

Interesting case. The different interests here are pretty vivid. I wouldn't want my area to become a haven for potentially dangerous, potentially more diseased non-contributors, but it also seems weird to criminalize sharing food.
