@arunavroy @annelovestoread @AcquisitionsBro@elonmusk Do you actually believe this?
Dude is worth $200 billion. With a B.
His dad is worth $2 Million. With an M.
@niq0tine Panhandling isn't an opportunity to succeed sweety. Most of these dudes are also not children lmao. Lota grown-ass bums out here preying on your sympathies.
@niq0tine@MayorBMScott The plan is absolutely not sufficient to get then to stop.
They will either a) move to the areas where it is allowed or b) just continue doing it bc there are dozens of them and 3 strike system (culminating in a mere citation) is a useless enforcement mechanism.
Wait and see.
@niq0tine@MayorBMScott Part of good mentorship though is drawing lines. But instead of telling them this kind of extortionist and disruptive behavior is not ok (it isn't), and not a viable outlet for them, the city is institutionalzing it.
This azpect of their culture needs to be uprooted, not dug in.
@frakkincylons@Alwyn00558657@mpgrp89@1CryptoKai@unusual_whales People out here with 7% interest rates on their $50k loans paying $200 minimums a month and wondering why it's taking decades to chunk down the balance.
Pay back your debts faster and stop screwing yourself.
@frakkincylons@Alwyn00558657@mpgrp89@1CryptoKai@unusual_whales You're telling me that you've been working in tech for the last 20 years and can't manage to save 35k to pay off the balance? Lol. You could literally pay thay off in a year with an average tech salary.
@MayorBMScott So much cap.
Moved to Baltimore in 2010 and this was 100% not an issue. It was not until post Freddy Gray when the squeegee shit blew up bc "progressive" policy neutered the cops.
This is gonna backfire on you hard Brandon. πΏ
@E_LawnMust@mpgrp89@Alwyn00558657@1CryptoKai@unusual_whales If you're going for a low-pay profession then go to community college where average tuition is less than $15,500 per year.
You can literally pay that off as you go, working a minimum-wage job.
@Alwyn00558657@mpgrp89@1CryptoKai@unusual_whales That's why we pay people in these professions hundreds of thousands of dollars every year.
You think practicing doctors are out there scrounging for change? No.
It's the dropout alcoholic frat kids, and art /philosophy majors who are getting bailed out.
