Some argue that giving money directly to homeless individuals may not always lead to positive outcomes, as there is a possibility that the money could be spent on alcohol, drugs, gambling, cigarettes, or other harmful activities. They believe that ongoing financial handouts without addressing the underlying causes of homelessness can sometimes reduce motivation to seek employment, treatment, or long-term independence.

This perspective suggests that making a difficult situation more comfortable without encouraging self-sufficiency may unintentionally contribute to dependency. Some compare this to the concept of codependency, where a person feels responsible for rescuing or supporting another individual in ways that may prevent them from developing independence. In this view, providing support should focus on helping people access housing, employment, education, healthcare, and other services that promote long-term stability rather than creating reliance on ongoing assistance.

Others, however, argue that immediate financial help can provide dignity, relief, and support during times of crisis, and that not all people experiencing homelessness misuse money or lack a desire to become self-sufficient. The debate often centres on the most effective way to help people achieve both immediate safety and long-term independence.

There are also many people who simply do not have the financial means or resources to help everyone who asks for money or support. With so many individuals in need, it is often impossible for any one person to assist every request they encounter.

That's what it would have taken to avoid the stabbing incident of Karmelo Anthony, recently found guilty of murder. I could, but many I know, could not.

SUMMARY FROM AI:
Altercation: track event was delayed due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Anthony, sought shelter under a team tent belonging to [another school], which Austin Metcalf attended. Metcalf and his twin brother asked Anthony to leave the tent. Anthony was asked to leave as many as 15 times over a two-minute period.
The Escalation: An argument ensued during which Anthony verbally insulted the students and allegedly warned, "Touch me and see what happens," while reaching into his backpack. Metcalf stood up and pushed or grabbed Anthony to remove him from the tent. Anthony then pulled a five-inch black knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest.
Outcome: Metcalf died short time later.

...

Easy solution: be nice, let him stay, talk... De-escallation skills. Beyond that... Anthony would have had to swallow pride and run in a storm.

I'll call out AA history..."black people"... I've seen this pride in many, possiby part of culture? don't mess with it.

The solution to that is humility training, growing up, wisdom... but that is found in few places, not easily managed in teens.

We need a "higher calling" to guide us imho.

It is possible, this judgement was wrong.

Below is a summary of Credit Cards and Debit Cards. Which do you prefer? Please vote in the poll.

Debit cards use your own money from a bank account, while credit cards let you borrow funds from a lender, offering more flexibility, rewards, and credit-building opportunities.

Key Differences
Source of Funds: Debit cards withdraw money directly from your checking account, limiting spending to available funds, whereas credit cards allow you to borrow money up to a set credit limit, which you repay later, often with interest if not paid in full.

Spending Limits: Debit cards are limited by your account balance and daily withdrawal limits, making them less suitable for large purchases. Credit cards have a pre-approved credit limit, which can be increased over time

.
Fees and Interest: Debit cards generally have no interest charges, though overdraft fees may apply. Credit cards charge interest on unpaid balances and may have annual fees, but paying in full avoids interest.

Fraud Protection: Credit cards typically offer stronger fraud protection and liability coverage compared to debit cards, though some debit cards with Visa or Mastercard logos provide similar protections.

When to Use Each
Debit Card: Ideal for everyday purchases, small transactions, and withdrawing cash from ATMs. It helps control spending since you can only use available funds.
Credit Card: Best for building credit, earning rewards, financing larger purchases, and benefiting from additional protections like travel insurance or purchase guarantees.

Summary
Both debit and credit cards are useful financial tools. Debit cards provide direct access to your own money and help manage spending, while credit cards offer borrowing power, rewards, and credit-building potential. A balanced approach is to carry both, using each strategically based on your financial goals, spending habits, and need for security or rewards.
