I regret to inform that even Cookie Monster has given into the relentless cultural pressure to monetise one’s passions
I used to really enjoy visiting the US and have visited by plane, train & car many, many times. I've done a road trip Montreal to Flagstaff, mostly via Route 66. I've spent lots of time in places like Philadelphia, DC, Chicago, Seattle, Vegas, SF, NO, LA & NY, with many repeated trips to specific places and events across the whole country. I even considered moving to the US for a while... but I have no intention of setting foot in the US ever again. For real.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an individual standing against a backdrop that appears to be indoors. The person is wearing distinctive, striped stockings with horizontal bands in what looks like a pattern of alternating light and dark shades. They are also donning tight-fitting pants that extend from the mid-torso down through the feet, which share the same stripe design as their upper garment.
On top of this ensemble, they wear a wide-brimmed hat with stripes mirroring those on their outfit, adding to an overall theme in color and pattern. The individual is holding what seems like a cigarette or cigar between their fingers, casually resting against one side of them down by the hip level. Their footwear consists of high-top shoes that cover most of the lower leg.
The person's pose suggests they are standing with confidence and possibly posing for the photograph. There's an overall sense of formality to this attire despite its playful patterns, which could indicate a themed costume or part of a performance. The background is blurred but hints at other people in close proximity, suggesting that the photo may have been taken during an event where many individuals are gathered.

On November 17, a young man named August left a facility he was taken to for help.
August is autistic, non-verbal and vulnerable.
He was found two days ago, after being lost for 24 days. His mom specifically thanked the homeless community:
“I owe a special debt to the homeless men and women of this city, whose vigilance, kindness, and relentless search for August humbled me," Lori Beckwith wrote. "Some of the most profound generosity came from those with the least to give.

“To the person — or people — who gave him layers of warm clothing, boots, and food: You kept him alive. I will never forget it."
Having served the homeless here in SLC, and witnessing service to them for decades, I have to say I am not surprised at their kindheartedness.

Like any other class or group, they're not all kind-hearted, but the entire class can't be judged for that. A homeless person:
-- smashed windows of my car in broad daylight to steal toilet paper, a flat of Dr. Pepper (which they didn't take because it wasn't alcoholic as they'd hoped), a jacket, and a tent;
-- attacked a female coworker in a crosswalk without provocation, punching her squarely in the face.
Those specific people I don't want to thank for their service.
@VulcanTourist "the entire class can't be judged for that"
But you're going to judge them anyway. How illogical.
@VulcanTourist
It seems to me from your toot that you found these two incidents traumatic. I can understand that.
I think that it would have been better if you had started a new discussion rather than replying to a positive story about homeless people.
Why do people become #homeless?
The main reason is that #billionaires rig our economies so that there is insufficient money allocated to social housing and welfare programs.
Thus anyone can become vulnerable and then homeless.
and that's naturally true.

On Money
I've been listening to an interview with Joe Ament on the Economics for Rebels podcast. In it, Joe claims that the origin of money cannot be in barter, because a fisher cannot catch fish until they have a fishing pole, and so, to obtain the fishing p…Simon Brooke (The Fool on the Hill)
