my thought in hypotheticals like this has always been i'd just learn to juggle or somersault really cool or something and start street performing. this was always the default/obvious option to me and im having a shock moment to realize its not also default for everyone else

Periodic question: If you woke up homeless, hungry, with $20 to your name, and had none of the connections you have now, how would you get off the streets?

assuming you’re serious, busking doesn’t make enough $ for housing. you can do this and still will need to apply for services (section 8, foodstamps, etc) use shelters (not always available nor safe), etc. even if you get a min wage job, it’s nearly impossible to find housing.

There's 3? ways to break a job down: entertainment, service or manufacturing. I know in the quote, I would just go to every place and just barter/trade work for services, like "can sweep up for the food you throw out at night after close," or "what can I do for that?" etc.

Aella has a way of cutting through things Like I genuinely think this would work for her, and probably for many (though not most) other people who would never have even thought about this as an option

Street performing? In Grayling Michigan? I didn't know the question was that you wake up in a place we street performance is an opportunity for income.
