HOW HOMELESS PEOPLE CAN MAKE MONEY

HOW HOMELESS PEOPLE CAN MAKE MONEY

07/21/2025 captainmclaren Comments 0 Comment

 

Yes, individuals experiencing homelessness can and do find various ways to earn money. These methods range from traditional employment opportunities to more unconventional options like panhandling and recycling. While some options may be more reliable or lucrative than others, there are diverse avenues available for those seeking to generate income while experiencing homelessness.

NOTE:  The advice that follows is for people living in the United States.  Some information might apply to other countries.

Here’s a breakdown of some common ways homeless individuals make money:

Traditional Employment:

  • Day Labor: Many cities have day labor services where individuals can find temporary work, often in construction or landscaping, according to Yahoo Finance.
  • Temporary Staffing Agencies:  These agencies can connect individuals with various short-term jobs, including office work, retail, or warehouse positions.
  • Food Service and Retail:   Some homeless individuals find employment in fast food restaurants, coffee shops, or retail stores, says Quora.
  • Service Industry:   Roles like cleaning houses, waiting tables, or working as a janitor can also provide income.
  • Skills-Based Work:  Individuals with specialized skills, such as writing, graphic design, or computer programming, can find freelance work online or through local networks, according to JustAnswer.
  • Nursing Home Attendant or Security:   Some nursing homes and security companies offer part-time positions that can be accessible, says Quora.


Other Income-Generating Activities:

  • Panhandling: While not always reliable or legal, some individuals resort to panhandling (asking for money) as a means of survival.
  • Busking: Street performers, such as musicians or artists, can earn money by performing in public spaces, says Yahoo Finance.
  • Selling Goods: Individuals may sell items like bottled water, used clothing, or furniture they find.
  • Collecting and Selling Recyclables: Scrap metal, aluminum cans, and other recyclables can be sold for cash.
  • Selling Plasma: Some homeless individuals sell their plasma for a small fee.
  • Academic and Medical Studies: Some research studies offer compensation for participation.
  • Finding Lost Items: Individuals may earn rewards for finding and returning lost items.
  • Starting a Business: In some cases, homeless individuals have successfully started small businesses, such as selling coffee or cleaning services.
  • Online Platforms: There are various online platforms where individuals can offer their skills or services for payment.
        • One Online Platform example follows:

    • Earn Up to $100 this Month By Answering Survey Questions About the News — It’s Anonymous.
    • (NOTE: This website performed a search to see if YouGov is legitimate and found that it is ok.
      “Reputation and recognition results for YouGov:
      YouGov polls are frequently cited by major news outlets and used in academic research, indicating their acceptance as a credible source. They are also a member of the British Polling Council and adhere to its rules.”)
“The news is a heated subject these days. It’s hard not to have an opinion on online platforms.”


Good news:
A website called YouGov will pay you up to $100 or more this month just to answer survey questions about politics, the economy and other hot news topics.

Plus, it’s totally anonymous, so no one will judge you for that hot take.

When you take a quick survey (some are less than three minutes), you’ll earn points you can exchange for up to $100 in cash or gift cards to places like Walmart and Amazon. Plus, Penny Hoarder readers will get an extra 500 points for registering, and another 1,000 points after completing their first survey.

It takes just a few minutes to sign up and take your first survey — and you’ll get your points immediately.

_________________

Important Considerations:

  • Safety:  When engaging in any income-generating activity, prioritizing personal safety is crucial.
  • Legality:  It’s essential to be aware of local laws and regulations regarding panhandling and other activities.
  • Reliability:  Some income sources are more reliable than others, and individuals may need to explore multiple options to find sustainable income.
  • Support Services:  Many communities offer resources and support services for homeless individuals, including job placement assistance, access to shelters, and social services.

Ultimately, making money while experiencing homelessness can be challenging, but it is possible. By exploring various options, utilizing available resources, and prioritizing safety, individuals can find ways to generate income and improve their circumstances.

Donald Trump Possibly Has Some Mental Deficiency Issues?

Donald Trump Possibly Has Some Mental Deficiency Issues?

07/14/2025 captainmclaren Comments 0 Comment

“The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump was a surprise bestseller, hailed by the Washington Post as “the most daring book” of 2017.”

“Shortly after the book came out, leaders of the American Psychiatric Association began publicly attacking Lee, arguing she was acting irresponsibly. Her alleged offense was violating the 1973 Goldwater Rule, an APA guideline stating that “it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion” of anyone without conducting a personal examination and getting proper approval.”

BUT

“The warning signs have long been there for all to see. Ever since June 2015, when Trump descended the escalator in Trump Tower to announce his candidacy, he has repeatedly embraced violence in support of his political goals.”

“No former president … has warmed to the prospect of civil war quite as much as Trump”

NEXT

“To many psychiatrists, President Trump’s statements and behaviors were patently symptomatic of one or several mental disorders. The facts of the case and the serious risks of erosion of our constitutional democracy and possible nuclear annihilation of the world demanded that psychiatrists warn the public. The analogy to the silence of Germany’s educated and professional classes during Hitler’s ascendancy to power was too obvious to ignore; but roughly 40 percent of the country does not agree that the president is evil or dangerous.”

I helped write the manual for diagnosing mental illness. Donald Trump doesn’t meet the criteria

By Allen FrancesSept. 6, 2017
https://www.statnews.com/2017/09/06/donald-trump-mental-illness-diagnosis/

“Diagnosing President Donald Trump’s alleged mental disorder has become a popular pastime, not just among mental health professionals but also among politicians, journalists, pundits, comedians, and ordinary people gathered at coffee breaks. Trump’s consistently bizarre sayings and doings have triggered a bill to establish a commission “on presidential capacity” and a suggestion that the president be removed from office via the 25th Amendment on the grounds that he is mentally unfit to be president.”

“A recent Time poll indicates that many Americans think that Trump is unfit for office. I also believe we made a terrible mistake electing him. But Trump’s disagreeable traits in no way indicate that he is mentally ill. Instead, they reveal him to be the ruthless self-promoter he has always been, now poorly cloaked in fake populist clothing.”

Trumpian Dark Age

“I believe that Trump is a mirror of the American soul, a surface symptom of our deeper societal disease. He may not be crazy, but we certainly were for electing him. We mustn’t waste this Trumpian dark age. If we don’t learn from it, we will keep making the same mistakes.”

______________

GOLDWATER RULE

  • The Goldwater Rule: The American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) Goldwater Rule (Section 7 in their Principles of Medical Ethics) states that psychiatrists have a responsibility to participate in activities that improve the community and public health, but shall refrain from diagnosing public figures when asked to comment on them, as diagnosing requires a personal examination and consent.
  • Origin of the rule: The rule is named after former U.S. Senator and 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater, who successfully sued Fact magazine after they published a piece with opinions from psychiatrists about his mental fitness, based on an informal survey rather than personal examination.
  • Bandy Lee’s actions and the controversy: In the context of President Trump’s presidency, Dr. Bandy Lee edited a book and made public statements raising concerns about his mental health and fitness for office. This led to public attacks from leaders of the APA, who argued she was acting irresponsibly and violating the Goldwater Rule.
  • Lee’s defense: Dr. Lee argued that she was not diagnosing Trump as an individual patient, but fulfilling an obligation to warn about a potential public danger, arguing that a mental health professional only needs a certain amount of information to raise alarms about dangerousness. She also viewed the Goldwater Rule as a ‘gag order’ and believed that speaking out was an ethical imperative to warn the public.
  • Broader Debate: The Goldwater Rule itself has been a subject of ongoing debate, particularly during the Trump administration, with some arguing for a more liberal interpretation or even its abolition in cases where there is a perceived duty to warn the public about potentially dangerous leaders.

“Since 1900, every time a Republican president has taken over, economic inequality has increased and the country has become more violent,” says Gilligan, now a professor of psychiatry at NYU. And as the government safety net has crumbled in recent decades, rates of murder, imprisonment, and poverty have been five to 10 times higher in the United States than in Western Europe, Canada, and Australasia.”

Here’s an overview of some common arguments people might raise when considering voting against the Republican Party:

Policy and ideological differences
  • Socially conservative policies: Some find the Republican Party’s stance on issues like abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, gun control, and religious freedom to be overly conservative or restrictive. For instance, the party generally supports restrictions on abortion and the right to bear arms, according to Wikipedia. The 2024 Republican platform details specific plans for promoting “pro-life” policies and limiting reproductive healthcare access.
  • Fiscal policy and economic inequality: Critics argue that some Republican economic policies, such as tax cuts that favor the wealthy, could exacerbate income inequality or lead to cuts in social programs according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. One analysis suggests that proposed Republican budget changes could shift costs to states and localities, impacting crucial services like healthcare and education.
  • Healthcare: The party’s approach to healthcare, including efforts to repeal or modify the Affordable Care Act, has drawn criticism for potentially reducing access to health insurance and services, particularly for low-income individuals. 
Governance and impact
  • Potential for reduced living standards and higher costs: Some argue that certain Republican policies, like those related to trade, tariffs, and budget cuts, could negatively affect the affordability of essential goods and services for everyday families according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
  • Impact on specific demographics or social groups: Different demographics, such as men, women, and various racial and ethnic groups, may be disproportionately affected by certain policies, leading some to vote against the party they believe may harm their interests.
  • Party polarization and potential for gridlock: Concerns exist about the increasing polarization within the Republican Party and the potential for this to lead to less compromise and slower progress on key issues. 
Candidate and party leadership
  • Candidate quality and extremism: Some voters express concerns about the caliber or perceived extremism of certain Republican candidates or the party’s leadership notes PBS.
  • Questioning democratic norms: Allegations of attempting to override the will of voters or undermining democratic institutions may lead some to vote against the party.

July 10, 2025

While at a restaurant, I viewed Facebook on my cell phone and was really enticed viewing that I could make my Apple Watch look smarter by just paying $.99 to acquire new faces to my Apple Watch.  So, I did pay into the Facebook application to a company, fsfaces.com.  When I got home, about a half hour later, I got to my computer to download those Apple Watch faces but nothing appeared.  I quickly checked the company using Google.

Based on the search results from Google:

About fsfaces.com

Fsfaces.com appears to be a company selling watch face customization apps for Apple devices. However, user reviews suggest that the company’s practices are questionable. Many users report being subjected to unauthorized recurring charges for subscriptions they did not explicitly agree to. 

Based on user reviews, fsfaces.com seems to employ tactics that make it difficult for users to cancel unwanted subscriptions, often ignoring cancellation requests or providing non-functional links. This has led many to label the company as fraudulent or a scam. Users frequently advise contacting banks or credit card companies directly to dispute charges and prevent future unauthorized transactions. 

In conclusion, it’s crucial to exercise caution when interacting with fsfaces.com due to numerous reports of fraudulent activity and difficulty in managing subscriptions.

I then used Trustpilot (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/fsfaces.com) and found that it has an apparent horrible reputation.  The word “scam” was frequently used in the submitted reviews.

Example Review:

“Watch out for this scammer

“Watch out for this scammer , I paid like a dollar for the app. The faces aren’t even real watch faces just a scam as you need to have the app open as long as u want the face to show . I got hit by 7 charges of $29.99 USD one fine day and this scammer didn’t mention any price or anything . After raising a dispute he sends back dated invoices quickly and sends me a link to unsubscribe but I have never subscribed in the first place and his system didn’t recognize me either . Never download this piece of garbage .”

Date of experience: June 07, 2025”

I copied, from my computer, my credit card charges, not one but two, which were still pending, printed them out and dashed over to my credit union.

My credit union canceled my credit card, took my credit card, shredded it and initiated an investigation!  They requested that their company expedite sending me a new credit card. They then warned me about Facebook and Twitter.

I then dashed over to my local Apple Store to notify them about this scam but the Apple Store employee was not interested!

As a result from hearIing from my credit union to watch out buying from Facebook and Twitter, I then did a Google search “is facebook trustworthy”

Facebook

Facebook, now under the umbrella of Meta Platforms, has faced ongoing scrutiny and controversy surrounding its handling of user data and privacy, leading to questions about its trustworthiness. 

Here’s a breakdown of the key concerns:

  • Data Collection and Usage: Facebook collects extensive user data, including personal information, browsing habits, and interactions across the web. This data is primarily used for targeted advertising, raising concerns about its intrusiveness.
  • Privacy Scandals and Breaches: Facebook has been at the center of numerous privacy scandals and data breaches, significantly eroding user trust.
    • Cambridge Analytica: This scandal involved the improper acquisition and use of data from millions of Facebook users for political targeting during the 2016 US presidential election.
    • Data Leaks: In 2021, personal data of over 533 million Facebook users was published online after being scraped due to a vulnerability patched in 2019.
    • Sharing Data with Third Parties: Reports indicate that Facebook previously granted access to users’ private messages and other sensitive information to third-party companies without explicit consent.
  • User Trust Surveys: Surveys have consistently shown low levels of trust in Facebook among users regarding their data privacy and handling of information.
    • A Washington Post-Schar School poll revealed that 72% of Internet users trust Facebook “not much” or “not at all” with their data.
    • A 2022 Digital Trust Benchmark study ranked Facebook as the least trusted social media platform among nine major platforms.
  • Scams and Phishing: Facebook is a target for scammers and fraudsters who use fake profiles, messages, and links to trick users into revealing personal information or downloading malware. 

TikTok

Is TikTok Shop trustworthy for purchases?

TikTok Shop is a legitimate platform operated by TikTok that allows users to buy and sell products directly within the app. However, like any online marketplace, it has risks, and users should exercise caution when making purchases. 

Here’s a balanced perspective on the trustworthiness of TikTok Shop:

Reasons for caution

  • Scams and counterfeit products: There have been reports of scams, including counterfeit or low-quality items, and non-delivery of orders.
  • Phishing attempts: Be aware of potential phishing attempts where scammers may impersonate TikTok or sellers to obtain personal information.
  • Inconsistent product quality: Quality can vary as the platform hosts various third-party sellers.
  • Unclear return policies: Some sellers may have difficult-to-understand return and refund policies. 

Measures TikTok has in place to increase trustworthiness

  • Verified seller badges: Look for the blue checkmark indicating a verified seller.
  • Secure payment systems: Payments are processed within TikTok’s secure system.
  • Buyer protection policies: TikTok Shop offers refunds for issues like counterfeit products or non-delivery.
  • Dispute resolution system: A system is available to help resolve issues between buyers and sellers, according to ExpressVPN.
  • Seller verification process: Sellers must provide identification or business licenses.
  • Monitoring and algorithms: TikTok uses technology to detect fraud and policy violations, although some may still appear. 

Tips for safer shopping on TikTok Shop

  • Research the seller: Check for verified badges, ratings, and reviews.
  • Read product descriptions carefully: Look for details about the item.
  • Avoid deals that seem too good to be true: Very low prices can be a sign of a scam.
  • Use secure payment methods: Use the in-app payment system and consider a credit card or PayPal for added protection.
  • Do not share personal or financial information outside the app: Legitimate sellers will not ask for sensitive details via direct messages or external links.
  • Report suspicious activity: Inform TikTok’s support team if you encounter a fraudulent seller or message. 

In conclusion, TikTok Shop can be a good place to find unique items, but it’s important to be cautious, just like with any online marketplace. Following these safety tips and using TikTok’s buyer protection features can help minimize risks.

Has Donald Trump Killed Anyone?

Has Donald Trump Killed Anyone?

07/10/2025 captainmclaren Comments 0 Comment

This blog piece started rather slowly by listening to my favorite Podcast, Background Briefing, hosted by Ian Masters.  I just can’t stop listening to this program because Ian Masters seems committed to finding the truth and examining what the truth elements are by interviewing guests that almost always are authorities on  given subject.  The following investigation was initiated by experts interviewed by Ian Masters and not by him!

______________________

About Background Briefing

The Society of Professional Journalists recently honored Ian Masters and Background Briefing with the Distinguished Journalist for Audio award.

You can listen to this program a number of ways:

  • On your cell phone
    (Iphone app called Pocket Casts where you can add any number of individual pocket cast programs.) 
  • On any computer by choosing this address: https://www.backgroundbriefing.org/

Let me continue. 

______________________

My wild guess is that my interest in this next blog post is that Ian Masters has told his audience that Donald Trump allegedly has killed a large number of people due to his past policies.  I found that after further investigation, that not only past policies but current and probably future proposed killinga were occurring. I finally decided recently to check this subject out.  I performed a simple Google search: “How many people has Donald Trump killed?

I was really shocked at how many I found!  Let me list some for you:

  • “Lancet Commission Report: A commission of health experts, convened by the British medical journal The Lancet, released a report in 2021 stating that the Trump administration’s policies, building upon decades of existing failures, resulted in more than 450,000 unnecessary American deaths in 2018.”

______________________

“It took four months to reach the first 100,000 dead. It took just over a month to go from 300,000 to 400,000.”

______________________

The report also linked Trump’s environmental policy changes to an estimated 22,000 additional deaths in 2019 and concluded that the administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the politicization of masks and disregard for scientific advice, worsened the spread of the virus and led to “tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths.” 


______________________

“If the cuts to USAID continue, researchers project 1.8 million excess deaths in 2025 alone, with a total of 14 million by 2030, including 4.5 million children under age five.”
“According to projections in a study by the prestigious Lancet journal, the cuts could lead to more than 14 million avoidable deaths by 2030, which includes over 4.5 million children under the age of five – or around 700,000 child deaths a year.”

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(25)00556-2/fulltext

Roughly 60,000 metric tons of food—enough to feed 3.5 million people for a month—is sitting unused in foreign countries because of the Trump administration’s sudden cut in funding to USAID earlier this year.

100,000+ Americans Have Been Killed by Gun Violence Since Trump Took Office. Here Are 5 Ways He Failed Them.

•     He failed to support background checks on all gun sales: Nearly a year ago, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 8––a bill to require background checks on all gun sales––with support from 93 percent of American voters and a bipartisan coalition in Congress. But it has sat on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s desk ever since, untouched and unpassed, because McConnell and Trump refuse to support it. 

•       He reversed support on red flag laws: Red flag laws are extremely popular measures that empower family members and law enforcement to ask a judge to temporarily remove a person’s guns when the person is showing warning signs of posing a risk to themselves or others. After last year’s mass shootings, Trump promised to support these life-saving measures –– but he’s since abandoned the idea.  

•       He proliferated access to downloadable guns: In January, Trump decided to enable schematics for downloadable, untraceable guns to be posted online––a move that could allow terrorists, convicted felons, and domestic abusers to 3D print untraceable weapons. 

•       He made it possible for people suffering from severe mental illness to buy guns: In 2017, Trump quietly reversed an Obama-era rule, thus making it possible for people who were found to be unable to manage their financial affairs as a result of their mental impairment to buy guns.

•       He repeatedly caved to the NRA: After receiving $30 million in political support from the NRA in 2016, Trump’s administration has shaped policies at the NRA’s behest. Trump has also repeatedly spoken with NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, who asked Trump to “stop the games” around gun safety legislation after this year’s mass shootings. Shortly after, Trump obliged.

Chaos in Washington puts ‘lives at risk’

“In March, the Trump administration pulled $11 billion from state and local health departments without warning under the leadership of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist and public health critic. The cuts abruptly ended COVID-era grants, which had also been approved for non-COVID work including vaccination and disease detection, tracking and testing.”

______________________

You should do the math to estimate how many people have died from the numbers shown to you above.  You even might find more that I have yet to find.

______________________

Why has this horrible situation largely gone unnoticed?

A Pew Research study finds that 67% of Americans get their news from

social media, mostly Facebook, in a form of reality-shopping where

outlooks are shared and opinions reinforced, often by political spin

or even foreign manipulation. This is undermining our country’s

consensus on what is real and true and making us less able to deal

with the challenges the nation faces.

In an increasingly divided country with a leader who calls the press

“the enemy of the people” and has his followers swallowing his lies

while believing that the media spreads “fake news”, we need to find a

way to inform citizens and restore civic engagement.

______________________

WHY?

Some psychiatrists and reporters have speculated that Trump may have mental health impairments, such as dementia (which runs in his family) or narcissistic personality disorder.[9][10] Such claims have prompted discussion about ethics and applicability of the Goldwater rule, which prohibits mental health professionals from publicly diagnosing or discussing the diagnosis of public figures without their consent and direct examination.[11] Public opinion polling from July 2024 indicated an increase in the percentage of Americans concerned about his fitness for a second term.[12][13]

Source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_and_health_concerns_about_Donald_Trump

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a life-long pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a diminished ability to empathize with other people’s feelings.[1][2]

Are Trump’s Methods Mirroring Viktor Orban’s Control Tactics?

06/21/2025 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

In an Atlantic article America’s Future Is Hungary by Anne Applebaum, it is revealed that Donald Trump might be using the ruler of Hungary, Viktor Orban methods for gaining fastest power over the United States.

Is this true or not?

Lets list some of the major points that Anne Applebaum reveals that Orban has used and then compare if Donald Trump is applying any of those methods in an effort to determine what Trump’s ambitions might be or not.  I will change Anne Applebaum’s list of factors to properly point to Donald Trump.  Hopefully the efforts promoted by Orban upon Trump will not turn the United States into a dictatorship.

MAGA conservatives love Viktor Orbán. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

Trump will slowly replace civil servants with loyalists.

“The Trump “administration is scrapping a nonpartisan, merit-based civil service in favor of a biased, politicized system.”

Trump will use economic pressure and regulation to destroy the free press.

“Donald Trump is obsessed with punishing journalists who criticize him.”

Trump intends to robbed universities of their independence.

“The Trump administration is seeking to exert extraordinary influence over American universities by threatening to cut them off from funding and, in some cases, students.”

Shut one of the United States universities down.

“Besides Harvard, the Trump administration has said it would end or limit federal money to a number of universities.”

  • Brown, which the Trump administration said stood to lose $510 million.
  • Columbia, which is hoping to regain about $400 million in canceled grants and contracts after it bowed to a list of demands from the federal government. But the administration is now taking aim at the university’s accreditation.
  • Cornell, the target of a cut of at least $1 billion.
  • Northwestern, which administration officials said would be stripped of $790 million.
  • The University of Pennsylvania, which saw $175 million in federal funding suspended because of its approach to a transgender athlete who participated in school sports in 2022.
  • Princeton, which said “dozens” of grants had been suspended. The White House indicated that $210 million was at risk.

https://www.nytimes.com/article/trump-university-college.html

Trump will politicized the court system.

“President Donald Trump and his allies have led an intense pressure campaign on the judiciary four months into his administration. Both sides of the political spectrum are using the term constitutional crisis.”

“It’s an all-out war on the lower courts,” said former federal Judge John Jones III

Trump repeatedly changes the constitution to give himself electoral advantages.

“Many experts are now saying that we are witnessing a power grab, a constitutional crisis, or even a coup. Those of us who have studied the weakening of democratic governments around the world take no comfort in the similarity between the rapid collapse of government institutions in the United States in the last few weeks and collapsing democracies elsewhere, where aspirational autocrats, emboldened by electoral victory, take office and remove all checks on their power by law. When they get away with it, democracy dies.”

Trump will give himself emergency powers.

“President Trump justified the imposition of tariffs on Canada. China, and Mexico under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)”

Trump aligns himself openly with Russia.

“ President Trump and his team are directly and indirectly tied to Russia.”
