Third World people creating a Third World vibe in America
« on: April 23, 2024, 02:58:50 PM »
As a fan of the free market and working hard to make money, I respect people who go out there to try and earn a buck, but this is not my taste.

I've noticed panhandlers spreading into the burbs (especially in shopping plazas) to solicit money. From children selling Kit Kat bars, youths playing violin set to electric musical accompaniment, to entire families selling homemade COVID masks. I've even come across people setting up tables to sell household and personal hygiene products. Some of them include a cardboard sign explaining that they're trying to pay for a medical treatment or that their primary source of income has dwindled.

This makes me feel a type of way and not in a good way. I want these people to be able to make money but more tastefully. Although not unethical, this is definitely Third World vibe. I used to only experience this stuff in the inner city or in very depressed areas. I've had people come up to me at those coin-operated shopping cart stores, and tell me they'll return the cart in exchange for the quarter. 

Again, how to kindly address these people that this isn't American culture. I don't want to see this spreading.

One time I was visiting some relatives who lived in a heavily kaydoo city. We went to Walmart and from the moment we stepped out of the car, we were hit with a sea of different people trying to sell us stuff. It was like a flea market. lol

One dude was selling perfume, another was selling CDs. There were churches there to preach the gospel and even a drumline asking for donations to a trip they were planning. Okay, the kids selling chocolate for a fundraising made sense but the others? It was Hmong Village in Walmart's parking lot but with kaydoo people.

That Walmart eventually closed down.
