        I have actually. Shortly after, I spent 3 years working for the homeless shelter in my community. Then I volunteered with an org that reaches out to home-free individuals. Now I work with a local chapter of the Red Cross that reaches out to underserved individuals in my city.

        By your remarks though, I can tell you’ve never been homeless. lol

          I had to steal to eat when I was homeless. Those orga didn’t find me and I didn’t have the resourced to be aware of them. Your homeless radar is extremely off if you can “tell” I haven’t been. Maybe you just got lucky when you were homeless, but the people I had to struggle with all had to at least steal once to get the only meal they’d have for a few days

              I never implied that, I simply said some need to, you took it to the extreme that all of them have to. I’m okay with 1.6% of all SNAP being fraud, we can deal with that after we deal with the reason why millions of people are on it in the first place.
