Yeh everyone's circumstances are different as is environment. I definitely have an age bias when it comes to homelessness. And there are tons of working people who drink and drug regularly working the fingers to the bone.

and wth did Walmart stop allowing Salvation army kettles? Might be a local thing but none to be seen yesterday, meanwhile 2 old gals roaming the gas station and parking lot for 'something to eat', not 'got any money'. Makes sense . I cannot walk away from someone asking for a meal.
