Well that is kind of my point. Society, including you and me, has failed these people on so many levels that they lack the most basic ability to function within said society.

We can ostracize these people, or we can sympathize with them, take care of them and dismantle this classist service-based economy in favor of one that is more humanistic and kind and provides for as many people as possible.

Of course, that isn't going to happen because people need their big macs and coffees.
