Pulling off the freeway
the other day in downtown Akron Ohio, the rubber city, there were two guys working opposite corners: 'will work for food'.
Interestingly, one was talking on a cell phone.

So what?
Most street people have a "burner".
You can get them for ten, fifteen bucks tops.
My cell phone is a burner too by the way.

I use them too. Though it's probably an Obamaphone he was using, I don't know. I have noticed that among the poorer folks phones are a huge status symbol.
Bob, none. They are fishing for money. I once came across a guy after I pulled out of McDonalds, near Christmas, I stopped and asked the guy if he wanted my value meal. He said, 'No thanks, I just ate' Looking more closely he was wearing very nice new Nikes.
I've bumped into real cases though. My favorite, back in my wilder days, I was cruising around the hood drinking beer, came up to an intersection, rolled down my window and handed my empty to an old bum collecting cans! Recycling in action

Those used burner phones get put to good use too.

They don't want to hear that Bob.
I have never yet seen a right winger that was willing to acknowledge that.

Yes Mike we know how much of a sweetheart you are when it comes to 'handouts' for the poor.
