Added cash to our latest donation. A right wing person might say they don’t give money to the homeless because “they’ll just use it to buy drugs or alcohol.” To which I say - so what? Members of the homeless population often have substance abuse problems and or mental health problems and probably should stay away from booze and drugs but the majority of people sleeping hard on the streets are there because capitalism is a homeless-producing machine, not because of their own personal failings. And why would being homeless prevent you from enjoying a beer or a cigarette or a joint like everyone else? Our cruel, predatory system has made housing unaffordable even for the working poor. The social safety net has been decimated over the past 40 years through the failed experiment of neoclassical neoliberal economics. This debunked theory of trickle down economics has produced tax cuts for the rich and austerity for everybody else. And you want to deny a victim of this depraved system an ice cold beer? For shame. That being said, Nirvana Wok is never going to be in the business of handing out beer. Cash yes. Beer no.
