Forum Overview :: Wall Street Kid :: Re: You'd be surprised how sophisticated and mobile modern bums are.

[quote name="Choson"][quote name="Mischief Maker"] I also got a fair amount of shocked looks from the audience about the study when I mentioned that a significant amount of calls to police from park incidents are made by transients on their cell phones. "Bums have cell phones?" For all you know, that filthy guy huddled in a corner reeking of booze might not be muttering to himself, he might be talking into a bluetooth headset.[/quote] Yeah, I've seen a lot of those around here in Vancouver, i.e. the mecca of bumdom -- are those donated to them by charities or are these guys actually rocking pay-as-you-go cells? I can't imagine them having the wherewithal to be on monthly plans.[/quote]
