i understand the logic behind thinking someone who owns a fridge is not "poor"

or being angry at someone for receiving welfare

i dont agree with it but i can at least follow the thought process

but why is it now bad for poor people to possess basic objects

for all you know he bought it while he still had a job and never threw it away

You know I would try to think of something funny to put here but ill just pass on that and threaten people with a + 2 board with a nail in it.
The person you reference is either a republican or more likely a libertarian. They are just angry that somebody has something they do as well and thus can't feel like they are better than them.

The government provides phones because you need a phone no for job hunting and social aid stuff.

Since the Reagan era.

There are more smartphones in the world than there are human beings. To say nothing of regular cellphones which are now literally disposable and retards are still mystified that even the poorest people have them lol

Some poors in a remote area got phones so they weren't completely removed from outside world but it was actually Obama draining our already strained phone reserves

Lotta ladies in this one project tower in the Bronx had two phones and would proudly tell you you should get an Obamaphone because it comes with free minutes. Apparently their regular phones weren't unlimited. Mine was.

Rest of the city wasn't like that. loving Richman Plaza man.

I get pissed when homeless people have basic necessities like food, water and shelter. If you're so homeless, how come you are sleeping under this bridge? Isn't that a home? I then drop a handful of change in the sewer in front of them and/or throw an entire cheese pizza into the river.

Seems to work pretty well for me.

but anyway, op, seems like your friend's gears are jammed in the "take things from others"-position. you can benefit from this by taking all of his poo poo and calling him out when he gets hypocritical. it's a win-win

can you even get a job in the US without a working phone number? I know you sure as hell can't get a job around here without them being able to tell you that you are hired and where to show up.

The Great Twist
A phone is pretty essential if you're looking for a job. If I found myself unemployed and homeless I'd probably sell my iPhone and go back to using my old Android that I still have. I have the cheapest T-Mobile prepaid plan but they cut you off completely if you don't pay on time, not sure how long I could keep paying my bill if my only source of income is panhandling. But having a working phone would be one of my top priorities.

If that homeless had any gumption, he would trade that cell phone on Craigslist and keep trading until he had a house.
