On the other hand our local food bank is pretty good.

Life would be better if we simply provided homeless people with safe, secure, comfortable places to live. It wouldn't have to be anything fancy.

The "no free lunch" people who don't even want to feed hungry school children have trashed this nation. They want the homeless around to serve as a threat to any wage slave who might protest dangerous, inhumane, and soul-killing working conditions.

You don't want to be that guy...

I've been a dumpster diver at certain times in my life for various reasons, including homelessness.

When my wife started grad school we furnished our apartment with stuff that had been abandoned beside the dumpsters at the end of the school term.

At one of my kid's college the school had a formal system for redistributing all this stuff. It was astonishing what graduating classes left behind. There were microwave ovens, mini-fridges, any sort of furniture you might need, bicycles, clothing...

Maybe every community needs a place like that, but it would be a shame to deprive WalMart or Target of that business...
