Community activist for homeless, robbed via naivete and still hasn't learned her lesson.

You need to help those that are struggling. Not those that have embraced criminality.

I wish the whole world was full of nice people like her, but it's not.
She probably grew up in a rich or upper middle class neighborhood and was never exposed to reality.

I wish most of the liberals would get a solid dose of reality and live in a low income area for a while. It would cure them of the lunacy of liberalism and get them a ration of reality.

Notorious or criminal, take your pick.

Thankfully we don't have squeegee guys here. I just don't want anybody fooling with my car, if for no other reason than it has sensors all over it and might start blasting noises. But a week or so ago I did give a decent amount to a young Hispanic family with a sign that said they needed money for diapers. And they did have a young baby with them, so they'd have to be pretty low class to pull a scam of that nature. They were friendly and appreciative, so I didn't feel like I'd been "had". It didn't really matter - I had money, and they needed some. I don't think they were headed to the nearest drug dealer or package store.

They did a run of Susan B's in 1999 when the stockpile finally ran out and the NYC subway was still using them. They followed this up with the "Golden Dollar" that had Sacagawea on it initially, then all the US presidents in order after that. Made out of manganese and brass so pretty at first but quickly tarnishes. Also, ignorant people hoarded them initially thinking they had real gold in them. Surprised you missed that one as it was pretty hyped. I occasionally have business in Oklahoma and get a roll now and again for the tolls. Out of a $25 roll from the bank, it's still generally around 20% Susan B's. Same size, but the Susan B has a reeded edge and the new dollar is smooth.

They're taking advantage of the fact that most decent people believe in paying for services and even if you didn't ask for it you will feel obligated. Gypsies run similar scams paving driveways if you can believe it.

Yep the world could use more nice people.
As for the squeegie boys...they were among the first to find themselves out of a job when Rudy G took over as NYC mayor in the 90's. lol
