People are not in a position to just walk out of their jobs on the spot. I'm sure the job description didn't say 'run homeless people out of their camps'. But if you're already in a job, then the choice is between doing what you're told and walking out / not being able to feed your family / losing your apartment / becoming homeless.
Desperate people do desperate things, and depending which study you read, over 50% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
I don't disagree with your feelings. Keep that righteous anger. I've got it too. I'm just saying you need to focus on the affluent who are pushing the desperate to abuse the desolate. They're the problem to solve.
Y’all are completely incapable of nuance. Stop talking like it’s all or nothing.
Some people have a choice, some don’t, the world is complicated. A lot of people could choose to not do these jobs.
Of course. My point is that until you know the guy, stop hating on him, because you don't know what his deal is.
