It’s been said before that the poor and homeless in America have a better standard of living than the poor and homeless in other countries. How you can be poor and still have two or three TVs, cell phones, and computers beats me.

Now the homeless (who used to be called bums in another era) are taking it to a “whole ‘nother level”. Here‘s a picture of a homeless guy with the obligatory cardboard sign begging for money. The kicker here is that he’s listed his email address and is asking for donations via PayPal.

While he can get computer access free from a public library, you have to have a checking account in order to get funds from PayPal.

There’s a good chance that this is a hoax. But if it’s not it says a lot about our society; it must be working or he wouldn’t be doing it.

Anyway, my point is that even the “homeless” in our country have a better standard of living than the homeless in other countries.
