I talk to homeless people usually when I am in Toronto. Really nice people for the most part. Sometimes I spend like 10 mins or something talking to a few of them, just watching who walks by and this is what I have noticed: the wealthy walk by with their noses in the air. I have had a few homeless people say to me, “it’s always young guys like you that give us money, people we rather not wanna take money from. Never the rich fucking snobs, we don’t even exist to them.”-homeless dude on Yonge.
There ya go. It’s not cool to help the hungry and the homeless unless it’s an en vogue charity donation like Haiti, Where tax exemptions (the root purpose) can be made. You can’t get a tax exemption for buying a homeless guy a meal in Toronto.
