Hmmm… not sure what the complaint is.

Instead of getting fat on the sofa after a shift at Micky D’s and swiping Tindr all night, they are out seeing the world and supplying fellow hippies with trinkets like grungy hair ties, shoddy little DIY bracelet, and other badges of poverty and poor life choices.

It is people like this that keep the price of a street BJ under 20 bucks.

Don’t hate on them.

But if they refuse your offer, splash some kind of solvent on them and set them on fire.

We don’t need their kind.

It would never occur to me, when backpacking across a country, to beg for travel money. But given the photos, are these people begging? Looks more as though they’re selling trinkets. If so, are they truly “begpackers”? My take: if they’re earning the money they receive, it’s all good.

I should clarify my opinion.

– Everyone should have economic freedom. That includes the freedom to sell “hand made” (in quotes for some reason) bracelets.

– Begging is a form of selling… selling you your own emotion. Pretty elegant racket, really.

– These freedoms end where mine begin. This could be an infringement on my quality of life as my pleasant street is filled with stinkin’ hippies and the intentionally fikthy. But there is a large gray area and the tolerance level is not defined until experienced.

– Passive and active begging are not the same thing and the response can range from ignoring them to testing the continuous output time on your Taser’s charge.

In the end, the begpacker problem is relatively small and they will probably fùck off if you feel the need to threaten them.

But I will be vigilant.

Next, we’ll be seeing tent cities forming outside, and walking zombies that you see in US streets.

Not if you don’t vote Democrat.
