Can Collecting Not Just for the Homeless Anymore

This morning while walking Rasputin, I came across a friendly, young, black couple who were going through the trash, looking for cans. They were definitely not homeless, as their bodies and their clothes were clean. Perhaps they are chronically unemployed or under-employed or working full-time but at low wages. This is a population we're going to see more of in this country, as the number of people who have exhausted their state and federal unemployment benefits is now at 2.5 million. That's a lot of people.
