I wouldn't demonize the very poor as addicts; drunks, sure. A dry hobo is likely to whip your ass and mine at chess. There are a good fraction of sane, teetotaling, drug-free hobos who are merely poor and itinerant without magical bootstraps.
- rcurry 6y agoAgreed - in fact the term hobo just meant a traveling worker back in the Great Depression and most hobos would take offense at being characterized as deadbeats - they were in fact out to make an honest living for themselves in the face of considerable economic hardships at the time. I was just being whimsical as to the mental picture I get whenever I think of all the craziness on social media.
