So basically my city has been taken over by pic related and now it's gotten to the point where these motherfuckers are almost at every single intersection. It has nothing to do with the economy (well the job market here is shit, but the rate of homelessness hasn't dramatically increased) and more to do with the fact that bleeding heart dipshits just keep giving them money. Now I know how shitty it is to be homeless and how hard it is to get up from the position but at this point there are now obviously well off millenials begging on the streets with really fancy signs because they can't be assed to get a job.

So I'm thinking, what if someone were to give these panhandlers actual advertisements to carry around instead of begging signs. They would be paid some reasonable amount based on payroll budget and could keep whatever handouts they get as tips.

It would benefit the local economy and give them something to do rather than leech cash. There would be no questions asked as to how they spent the money, but they would only get it if they actually used the sign instead of hiding it and then bringing it back at the end of the day for free money.

Would there be a way to get around taxes disincentivizing them? It'd be basically the same thing as those guys who hold up Cash 4 Gold signs but on a bigger scale.
