A sign that things are getting "worse" in the world.

Lately bums have been asking me for food instead of money? Has this happened to anyone else, or is it just me?

Sometimes in Phoenix bums will hang out at fast food drive-throughs and hit people up while they are ordering to please get them something.

Its only gonna get worse as time goes one, up until we address the fundamental problems behind these issues of homelessness and vagrancy.

Its expected: bums eat at soup kitchens and the like. Soup kitchens (and the like) are run by two entities: (1)churches, and (2)government-sponsored NGOs. Government budgets have been slashed, and churches are tight on cash because people are giving less in these times-of-financial-instability.

Dont worry, they'll be asking for money again soon enoguh.

That's great, whenever a bum asks me for money I prefer to buy him some food instead.
If he's honest when I ask him what he's going to do with the money (like buy drugs) he'll get it. If he's lying he is getting jack shit.

Sometimes when I see someone walking up too me with that certain predatory look on their face, and I know they're going to ask me for money, I like to stop them right before they get the words out by asking them if I can have a dollar. A sort of preemptive bumming.
