If you are poor in the US, you live in a little self-built card board
home in the streets of Los Angeles. The police will come by regularly
and destroy the card board home. You are not allowed to beg for money
(recent city ordinance). As a single unemployed male you don't receive
any welfare payments. You don't starve because there are private soup
kitchens.

In Germany, by contrast, you'd get about $10 cash per day from the
welfare bureau if you're homeless, and more if you have a dog.
