If you are to quote me, do not selectively quote me.

Not sure where you picked up the "scam" part, but it was not from anything I posted.

Why must so many of you be so obviously dishonest?

Is what I can do the topic? No. Topic is what someone tries to market as something which "significantly reduce homelessness and poverty." I still contend it will not, that it appears suspicious and that it appears unrelated to PA.

>When you see homeless people, you'll speak to them and find out what help they need.

Based on what I've seen on a couple of other sites, and in person, folks who encounter the homeless are far more likely to tell them to get a job than they are to "find out what help they need." Has been that way for decades.

It does not read that way either in practical terms or in tone.

I am aware of a St. Vincent de Paul, but not a de Paul. It's not a mistake someone who works with that charity would make. The closest charity is in MD, not PA, so may not even be appropriate for this sub.

None of that, of course changes the basic fact that a large segment of the homeless simply do not have the means to have access to the internet. How, pray tell, will they even see this? How then, as the topic header states, will it "significantly reduce homelessness and poverty"? It does not. That's not being an asshole, that's pointing out a basic truth to homelessness and poverty.
