What city residents think ? Is the city too crazy

“It appears that they were just handing out the food for free.”

“I know, I know, it’s probably a big inconvenience for those on the subway who are just trying to get from point A to point B with zero social interaction, but you have to respect that these people’s hearts are in the right place.“


“Here we have a video of some good Samaritans who decided to put a whole dinner table in the middle of a subway train, and it’s filled with several of our favorite Thanksgiving dishes.“

I thought this was going to be some annoying Instagram influencers making a stunt for their personal gain, so it's nice to see it was a formerly homeless woman from East NY just doing something to bring a ray of sunshine to people's lives.

I;m not sure why she thought she needed to do it in a train car, that part is not great, but at least she's not some influencer (that I know of)

Train cars are where homeless congregate and sleep. So it makes sense to go where they are located. I wonder if any of them had psychotic episodes when they saw the food and imagined they were hallucinating.

I saw this prior to this thread and it is a bit ridiculous. There are soup kitchens where the homeless can go get a Thanksgiving meal if this is the purpose of this stunt.

I saw this throughout social media and on some news sites and thought it was really weird lol. Although the gesture was a good one. I think if they handed out boxed meals, instead of literally having a Thanksgiving buffet table in the middle of the train, it would have been better.

She did this strictly for the media attention and that’s exactly what she got. How many homeless are you going to reach by being in one train car?

So you're saying she is some influencer or wannabe influencer?

Guess I missed the link to her IG and Tiktok.
