Clearly they aren't doing it for the money.  They will save a lot of
lives.  True heroes!

This discussion reminds me of a short-lived PBS show that re-created
living conditions in a Victorian era slum:
 
The Doss House:
 
https://www.pbssocal.org/programs/victorian-slum-house/d0cqlm-living-doss-house/
 
It was yet another "reality" social experiment akin to '1900 House' and
'Frontier House'. Fun stuff. They were lucky if they had running water
or even a bucket. They did strive to do better, though.

When I worked in homeless services I was astounded that a goodly percentage of the hard - core, e.g. street homeless, not only abhor any outreach/assistance, but prefer life on the street. After all, if you have an apartment, there is a certain amount of responsibility in having to follow basic rules, etc....and some do not want the "responsiblity" of even having a rent - free place (utilities included)...
 
A few years ago there was a small homeless tent city here in Chicago's Uptown. The city and social service agencies made a concerted effort to house over a hundred of them in their own private apartments/living facilities. A year later about half of them had been evicted for various criminal infractions, drugs, disruptive behavior, having "apartments of filth", having pets in no - pet dwellings, barbequing inside, etc....some of these I case - managed, they would deliberately defy basic living rules, and despite our intervention, they fucked themselves out of their decent private apartments...

Many *say* they want to work, but they never have any intention of actually *going* to work and sustaining stable employment. After all, it is spelled "work" for a reason, no...???
 
Especially with the "dependent" class, they'd sail in demanding "GIVE ME A JOB!" Sorry, I'm not a miracle worker, I cannot undo all of your poor past life decisions - and it is *you* that has to eventually get the job...and you are not going to start out with an easy and well - paying gig in a nice place, even us motivated folk had to start at the bottom...
 

> Yes, Twas ever thus
 
 
Could not have said it better meself...
 
I helped many poor immigrants and refugees in attaining employment, they would take any - and often multiple - crummy jobs to get ahead, they kept their nose to the grindstone and never complained; they got ahead - and their kids excel academically and will become professionals. This is something that many USAin's would do well to emulate - even the white middle - class ones...

Someone will bash me for bringing this up but I'll do it anyway. Years
back when I was living in west TN I stopped at a gas station near my
apartment. There was a liquor store right next door. A homeless man
approached me while I was pumping gas and asked if I had any spare
change. He said he was hungry.
 
I don't hand out money to strangers. And I'm not very trusting of
people who hang out in the vicinity of liquor stores. However, there
was a Burger King right across the street. I said if you're hungry
let's go over there and I'll buy you a meal. He accepted and met me in
the parking lot.
 
He stood outside reading items off the drive-thru menu. He was too
ashamed of being grubby to go inside. I asked what he'd like to order.
BK had a deal at the time on the then *new* Black Angus Burger & fries.
He hesitantly asked, "Could I have that?" Of course! And yes, he ate
it. It was a nice day so we sat outside and talked while he ate. His
name was Steve. He said he was a Vietnam vet. He rambled a bit; he was
likely mentally ill and quite possibly a drug addict and alcoholic. But
at least I know on that day, he ate a hot meal.

Green can cheese is good. I call it "Italian MSG." I don't care much for pasta dishes but I'm going nuts with coming up with new dishes. The family likes it though. Perhaps lasagna would be okay. I kinda like this guy's prep. He's the most fearless of cooks.

I can't imagine that ten or so communist rat-bastards would create that
photo to propagandize the fevered imagine of fools like Bruce. That just
couldn't happen. It's just gotta be real. Pfffft.
I probably should ask him. He's here.

I got that picture from the Daily Mail. I believe it's very right
wing, so they say the things you want to hear. And what doesn't fit
your agenda is fake news.

I am actually cooking far less now. Reason being, I can't find the
ingredients for what I would normally cook. We are having tuna casserole
about every two weeks. I did make that before but maybe once or twice a
year.
 
We are mainly eating cereal. Lots of cereal. And frozen meals. Why? Those
things are available in the stores here. I don't like this kind of food very
much so my appetite has tanked. Meanwhile, J is going crazy on the cereal! I
didn't even know he liked it. I never bought it before. But I bought some
now because it was available and it has vitamins in it.

I got some unusual rice at Vitacost. Looks like what I bought is out of
stock now but they have some others.

I was able to get some baking powder there as well. It was a larger amount
than I wanted but... No one else has it.

We much prefer egg noodles to rice... we would never make good chinks.
We even prefer egg noodles to pasta... our dinner tonight was
saw-seege, home made tomato sauce, and wide egg noodles.

Not, Dollar Tree's shipping is very reasonable. About once a month they'll have a $4.95 flat rate shipping deal. My total cost frex for a 12 - count case of 32 oz hydrogen peroxide or similar heavy item is about $17.00 bux ($12.00 for product plus the shipping). Even with regular shipping, it will be less than $20.00, a bargain considering you don't have to schlep it around from some place...and if you order another case of something it is still a flat rate $4.95 shipping for everything in one order. I send toiletries and such to some local shelters, it is a very good deal, the "best bang for the buck" I've found for by - the - case items...and if you wish to pick up in - store there is no shipping charge at all.
