The initiative has reached the required signature threshold in 15 countries, with Germany and France – the two largest – expected to follow suit.

    Same as you alone can’t do much for games, I alone can’t do much for the homeless. And how do you know I’m not the one in need?

      Following your logic and example, since we can’t individually do much for the homeless we should go around shelters and aggressively try to convince volunteers that destitute people are a lost cause.

      Bullshit take a blanket and a old jacket and sit down with a homeless person, it absolutely could have a huge impact on them.

      Even if you are in need you can still help. I volunteer at a food bank every Wednesday. It is ~2 hours of my time. I also am able to take about as much food with me as I can carry. Most of the food I take I then give away to the unhoused that live in and around the park across the street from work.

      I used to volunteer at a church doing food bank stuff too.

      There are plenty of things you can do while you are the one in need.
