I'm also very tired of people saying that pan handlers are all millionaires because they heard or read some anecdote somewhere.
Like yeah I'm sure there are scammer pan handlers, but even in that 0.0001% case it's because begging for money is easier or better than getting a job.
I recall a time back around 2008 or 2009, when my smartest coworker left Fox News on in the breakroom. (He knew better than to trust their bias, but we had few channels available and he just wanted to hear the news.) My stupidest coworker walked through the breakroom, heard some news about "Obama giving away cars to poor people" and came back into the lab ranting and raving about it.
I had a talk with that smart coworker and gently asked him not to leave that channel on again, because some of the people we work with are highly suggestable. Just then, the stupid coworker came into the room to rant the news at him.
He instantly understood.
Fox News has been a plague on our society for almost 30 years. I’m so sick of its existence.
