The majority of pan handlers could work if they really wanted to. Plenty of help wanted signs out there. Of course I do realize there are some folks with mental and psych disabilities who are in a bind.
I may have mentioned this before but I noticed when growing up in Southern California and also living in Norcal for a while, I don't think I've ever once saw an Asian pan handler. I still haven't to this day. Large Asian population in Cali, of course. Something in their cultural upbringing says you don't put a hand out.
Somebody here not long ago also posted the story about the McDonalds worker with Down syndrome who'd been working there for 30 years making french fries - talk about adversity.
Some would just rather put their hand out on the freeway off ramp.
