    If in an hour they get 4 five dollar donations, that’s $20/hr. Think about how many cars you see stop to donate each light change. If you think it’s not lucrative you’re being disingenuous.

    Another way to look at it. That McDonald’s right there is hiring, and this guy stands outside panhandling all day. He’s already there, why not get a job at the McD’s? Market pressure, there’s more to be made with way less effort standing on the median making people feel bad.
