I am also surprised that the homeless guys can do it. A couple of months ago, we saw a guy begging at a large intersection and during the three minutes that the light was red, seven people gave him money. Do the arithmetic.
Every Three minutes divided into 60=20. Probably a buck person=$3.00 or a dollar a minute = $60.00 bucks an hour take away slack times so maybe $50.00 bucks an hour :yikes:
Anyone wanna join me the opposite corner?? 040
