(8,223 posts)The question is "doing what?"
This person has no earthly clue how hard it is to find a company that has jobs and will hire the homeless, the unskilled, or people with arrest records.
There really and truly aren't enough jobs out there for this sort of labor. They really and truly do not exist and remotely close to the quantities needed. This guy I have been "helping" takes it a notch further, in that he is homeless, low skilled, with an arrest record, and in need of anti-psychotics to remain on the same planet as the rest of us.
People have already learned from their "bad choices". When you end up skipping enough meals the message is loud and clear. No boot camp atmosphere would take it up notch.
Actually most of the homeless I have worked with would be happy to sign up for her plan, if it included "3 hots and a cot" but wasn't jail for a change.
Give me the young lady for a week and I will take her some places that would turn her head inside out. It is not all that hard to do or even much of a drive.
