Are you honestly glorifying panhandling? Baking in the hot sun, breathing constant exhaust fumes? While people avert their eyes, staring straight forward. As you watch the relief cross their faces when the light turns green? Buddy can you even imagine at hour 10, an old woman with pity in her eyes claims “Jesus will save you if you open your heart” and hands you a fucking fake 10 dollar bill with a bible verse on the back? And in the next instant you’re being told to “get a job!”.

All day.

I can’t think of a more dehumanizing experience.
