Outrage concerning the treatment of homeless people by law enforcement in this area is anything but unfounded.

Friday and Saturday nights are good if you have the stamina and patience. I've made 450 on the weekends alone

The Live, Laugh, Love people are much scarier.

No disrespect intended.

I don't understand why you think that concept is so axiomatic. If we evolve as a society and pool the resources that we already contribute to actually benefit the citizens and stop propping up corporate interests, no one would ever be homeless by choice. Much less would poverty be able to be used as a threat to force the working class into selling their labor for less than it's worth. I get the impression that you're not very well read on this subject and you've only ever known a single point of view. You should do some reading. It might expand your mind, and that's always a good thing.

“The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying, This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not anyone have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, “Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.” – Jean-Jacques Rousseau

By what mad reasoning have you determined that poverty is the default state of man? Money and debt are made up things. They literally aren't real! My god man, stop and think with your own mind for a moment!

How do you equate homelessness with the threat of failure? People fail at all kinds of things all the time without becoming destitute. Eliminating the threat of homelessness is not only possible, it's necessary to a morally evolved society. It seems like you just never put any real thought into the issue and you're just blindly defending a system that not only doesn't serve you (unless you're rich), but enslaves you. Wake up man.

Or maybe you don't understand the connection between right wing political ideology and capitalism? That's also an easy Google search.

Here is one of many articles on the subject. The availability of information is so high that there is literally no excuse for not being aware of things like this. Unless you're saying that you struggle to grasp the idea conceptually? Capitalism literally can't work without the threat of homelessness. Hope this helps.

It's obvious that by "government" they're referring to the right wing ideology that enables unregulated capitalism and special interest groups instead of the average American citizens. Willful ignorance and straw man arguments are just wasting everyone's time. Let's try to have an honest conversation about these things for once.

Really the only downside is the lack of ATMs. Chase has some of the best benefits for their credit cards and that's primarily why I use them. You can get another account with a local bank and just transfer funds when you need to take cash out.

I used to go there and it's honestly amazing. It's definitely extra af

It's obviously a consistently hot topic that many of us are concerned with. Let free speech do its thing.

Seriously try asian express on Campbell and Glenwood. Get the hot and spicy chicken. Thank me later.

This is fantastic

I think at this point any nonverbal communication goes right over people's heads. It's probably best to think about where the blame really lies (usually management) and focus our criticism there. If a server is rude or inattentive, it's easy to just address them directly but I would say the majority of the time it's not anything deliberate on their part. It would take something pretty bad for me to not tip.

We really need comprehensive labor reform in this country.

That makes sense. I guess not tipping gives people a passive aggressive option if they don't want to say anything lol.

Why does it upset you if you planned on tipping anyway? Also , your server didn't create that policy so why not still tip the difference? I haven't been to the one here but I used to love going to the one in downtown KC.

Pancho's!

That group is a cesspool. Mostly people making fun of homeless and addicts.

You don't understand correctly because you didn't read what was actually said.

I think for most people it's because when religious programs offer "help", it's done with an ulterior motive. Your free meal comes with a mandatory sermon or some other way of making you feel worse about yourself than you already do. It doesn't take calculus to understand why most of us feel uncomfortable around religious people who literally believe that they are better than you because of their faith. I definitely try to find secular alternatives when looking for a way to help the poor as well.

To answer your hypothetical scenario, I would say if their methods were that much more effective then I would not have a problem with employing those methods with another more sane group of people. It's highly doubtful that such methods would be a result of religious beliefs and more likely linked to better financing and access to resources.
