    It's a crime because the authorities might see it as shameful, get them out of societies way, you know the society that failed them, alcoholics, drug addicts, and the homeless ones on the streets, can't have that, move along nothing to see here.

    It’s only the “authorities” that it hurts?

    Giving to a beggar is a choice, I give when I see it fit, because I have a choice, when and if, your luck is down and out, I do hope someone does give to you, because being a hard a$$ to me serves no purpose in life, but each to their own, like I said, it's a choice.

    Feeding the pidgins…

    I also don't judge as it's not my place.

    Yet you seem to be doing just that.

     

    You judge the drug addict on the street as a victim, and the people that don’t like it as victimizers.

    One has to sympathise with these people, they get pressured into taking drugs, take them for whatever reason and get hooked and then cant stop.

    While I sympathize with them, how are they pressured into taking drugs?

    Interesting.Trump. The convicted  rapist with dozens of other claims of sexual assault. Openly brags of his method of sexual assaults. Denies then but during his legal depositions in his rape trial admits and justifies it 

     

    Also interesting . Biden. No legal allegations. Only wild claims from a stolen diary pushed on right-wing conspiracy sites. 

    Why would someone steal a phony diary? 

     

    And why would someone be arrested for stealing a phony diary. 

     

    Your claim that Trump is a convicted rapist is not true.

    You need to get a new calculator.

     

    Pre-pandemic, employment was 158.7 million.  When Biden was inaugurated, it was 149.8M.  Today, it's 161.5M. 

     

    8.9M Covid jobs came back (158.7 - 149.8), out of the 11.7M jobs that Biden claims to have added (161.5 - 149.8).  Meaning Biden only added 2.8M new jobs (161.5 - 158.7).  The vast majority of them (76%) are just Covid jobs coming back.  And that was my claim.

     

    To make it worse, that's all jobs, part and full time.  It's worse for full time jobs.  And devastating for American born workers, who have gained no jobs since Mid 2022.

     

    Not to mention, he's added somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 million "newcomer" workers.  But only 2.8M new jobs.  Yet, they claim unemployment is down?  That must be the new math.

    All jobs:

    For full time jobs:

    Native Born workers:

    And 40% of Biden’s “new” jobs are from growing government. 

     

    Meanwhile, tax revenues are down…

    If they are counted as part of the population (census), they are also counted to calculate unemployment numbers....

    Clearly you are misinformed. Only people that are not working, are actively looking for work, and that are available for work are considered unemployed. To be considered available for work you have to have a US social security number, or a US taxpayer ID. 

     

    Realistically, the only people actually counted as officially unemployed, are people collecting unemployment benefits.

    Avoid those run by foreigners...as in Thailand once you live here, you will see that often it is better to avoid the foreigners who have businesses. Of course not all, of course not...but many.

    I have breakfast at the new airport Marriott Courtyard now and then, it’s run by a foreigner and it’s great.
