Homeless People

There are many homeless people out on the streets. When being without a job still hasn't gotten near zero and new jobs are being created every day, people are starting to ask why there are still homeless people in the streets. This seems to be a serious problem even though it would be so easy for homeless people to just get a job. For a person to get a job all you have to do is have nice clothes to make a respectable impression, a home address and some way to be reached in. So we have reached a solution to this general languor. First of all, most homeless people spend their days looking through trashcans for a piece of food or cloths or something to have. Eventually, one would think that they should be able to afford a couple of respectable suits or other outfits to wear while applying and even working for this job of theirs. All they have to do is go around a little longer or beg a little more and that job would be theirs to enjoy. Keeping these clothing clean would be difficult, but manageable. Just find some large, clean puddle of water in the street to wash things in. As for cleanliness, I'm sure people throw away left over deodorant, soap, and other such toiletries to where you can care of the bathing problem. You don't need to clean your hair, in fact, doing so would rid yourself of the natural oils that build up over time and actually hold your hair style in place.

Second, with all the left over money and such, they could go to one of those Mailbox stores and buy themselves a mailing address. That just means they'll have to manage with eating only what they find in the garbage, and not spending any of that extra cash on fast food, or that healthy vegetable stuff. Suppose they absolutely need a phone number also. What's stopping any of these people from sleeping close to a pay phone? Just record the number on the back of your hand (unless you have some nice paper on you) before you head out to the job interview. And if you really want to impress the boss, give him the number of the pay phone nearest your favorite begging corner, just in case they can't get a hold of you at the first number. None would be the wiser. As for the commuting, all one would have to do is make sure the pay phone isn't too far from business. Better yet, sleep in front of the business, near a pay phone, so you can also respond to any requests on time and efficiently. It would also give you much more time to sleep while waiting for that first paycheck. Now that you must take care of the job and the finding food and drink in the same twenty-four hours, you need all the sleep you can get. All this being on time and showing up so early would be sure impress the boss. Now if all this doesn't impress your boss, I don't know what will. I know I'd be impressed after learning the amount of time this homeless person took just to get a reasonable outfit to show up to work, the hours of begging just to get bus fare to another part of the city. By now I would hope that any thought that I've been serious about any if these hideous ideas have vanished: this is a satire. I'm not sticking up for every single homeless person on the face of the planet, for I know there are quite a few willing to spend any available penny to smoke. The thing is, there are a lot of people and even families willing to work for less than minimum salary if someone were to just give them a chance. But most of us look away in shame and ignore the person offering to wash our windshield for any spare change we may have. I think scholarship programs need to be started to help these people. Not a lottery where any crack fiend off the street can get the opportunity to work, but actual screening and testing to try to see just who is willing to take that extra step out of the pit. This is a problem that cannot be ignored any longer.
