    Don’t forget to condemn the local homeless guy for asking you to spare some change while he also happens to own a cellphone.

      Please don’t attack the most vulnerable of our society without research. The question of why many homeless people have cell phones is a complex one, often rooted in misconceptions about homelessness and the true value a phone provides in this situation: https://www.homelesslongisland.org/post/why-is-it-that-most-homeless-have-cell-phones "How a society treats its most vulnerable is always a measure of its humanity” ☮️ ✌️
