This does NOT apply to even .01 percent of the homeless!!! Whoever wrote that study was fulla shit.....I have been Homeless in the past,for a number of years in fact,I "Flew A Sign" like a lot of Homeless did.I was GOOD at it,I know where the best "Signing" spots are in at least Ten Major US Cities....And if one could make ANYWHERE near $19-20 an hour I would still be doing it instead of busting my ass 15 hours a day!!!!!

I don't think that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology located in "LIBERAL" Cambridge Mass would even think to lend its name, much less fund such drivel...the idea is preposterous!!
