“Assuming that they aren’t mentally ill or disabled, why the heck would you ask for money all day on the streets; it’s very uncomfortable!?!”

Homeless people, because of their lack of accommodation, documents, bad smell, etc, have big difficulties getting hired for any kind of legal work. Besides, many of them are somewhat disturbed - many have just had their homes foreclosed, etc. I would guess the majority of them are “genuine”.

That said, I don’t give any money. Not one of my problems - of which I have no shortage of myself.
