As much as I understand that panhandling pays decently, it always really affects me to see someone who’s come to the point where that seems like the best option. If I had the money I would happily give them some, but unfortunately I rarely do. And I know that reenforces the behavior and I shouldn’t, but haven’t beggars always been a part of human culture? I’m not here to change that, I just want to be able to think I might have helped someone who needed it.

“panhandling pays decently”
this is a wild thing to say
