Someone in Chicago founded a newspaper called Streetwise. The idea was to send homeless people out as vendors thus making them entrepeneurs instead of homeless people. So now they're everywhere selling Streetwise for a dollar which hardly anyone reads. Some buyers know it's panhandling yet buy lots of papers to help as many entrepeneurs as they can. Some religiously buy each issue to keep abreast of Duty. Most people walk around the vendors pretending not to see them. I saw one young man turn to a vendor and explain to her like Darrow before a jury why he wasn't buying. That took the cake. |
