    An immigrant from Turkey... putting to shame native born American's in virtues and work ethic values. I'm 70, I grew up in an era where if you didn't work, you didn't eat or have a place to live, and it was the unquestioned societal rule that you did your best to avoid.
    Now days, people expect or feel entitled to be bailed out… Whether it is still living at home with your parents at age 25 (or more) or expecting free social program handouts, such as "universal basic income (UBI)", that's being handed out without any requirement to do anything, in order to earn it.
    My self-pride and sense of self-sufficiency would never allow me to accept a UBI handout, unless I was truly down and out, after exhausting all avenues to earn my own way. For many, "homelessness" is a chosen lifestyle, and not due to unfortunate circumstances that were beyond their control.
    The expression of pride on Mike Rowe's face, as Ali tells his story, says it all.

I was living in my car with zero $ to my name at 19yo and now being 36 I have managed to make well into the 6 figures with an amazing son and I owe it all to hard work even when I was told no 1,000 times.

    Have something similar to this in Atlantic City New Jersey on the board they're called rolling chairs. They've been around since the 1880s. You have a person that wants a ride from point a to point b. They get into this large chair like a big couch. There's a person that will push you along the boardwalk to your destination.
