RE: Should Panhandling Be Prohibited?

in #charity8 years ago (edited)

and in those cases, voluntary charity is a solution and billions of dollars every year are voluntarily given to a variety of causes. I think with a # of charitable organizations out there though (as is the case with the state), there is a lot of corruption , and that money doesn't get to where it needs to be in an honest way, maybe the executives of those organizations could just fly coach for example and save the extra and give it to even more people in need as is their intended purpose or goal supposedly in the first place. With the state, they maintain power by making sure they have as many victims as they can who they want to convince require their services. I think we could manage a much more civilized approach to helping those in need, I don't think we need to get coercion/theft/violence/force involved in the matter. 👌 but people helping people peacefully and voluntarily? that's just crazy talk.. i know 😆

I think if you welcome people and make them feel safe many problems will disappear. Most of these organizations have good intentions but there is a stigma involved in using them. Plus the problem with funding getting diverted through corruption as you say. A simple minimal payment to everyone could fix this. With more and more jobs disappearing through automation and AI I think something may eventually need to be done.
