yeah i've given brehs money who kept it real and said they just wanted a beer to take their mind off shyt
and there are enough of those pretentious types offering to buy people food, and plenty of food kitchens and meal lines and lax shoplifting laws and similar things.
point being, i haven't heard of anyone starving to death in America in 2022. food is available.
but they still need things other than food in life; mfs do actually need some money. you'd have to view someone as an animal to think they only need food and nothing else.
side story: I'll never forget reading about how some millionaire wanted to take a bunch of homeless people in NYC out to a fancy lunch and then break them off like $300 each.
but he linked with a shelter to round up the people, and they convinced him to cut them a check instead.
so even the shelter that's supposedly trying to help people get on their feet said 'you can't trust them with cash', and just looked at everybody standing on line like

"don't worry, we handle the money around here"
that type of shyt is why the situation never gets better
