      If you go to the wiki list and read some of the back stories… Begging. A lot of them just relied on handouts to eat. Not too different from regular homelessness.

        It’s the food cost I wonder about. I assume all other needs are relatively accessible at an airport for free.

          Begging and panhandling essentially. It’s not really any different than homeless people hanging out at the mall, only safer because everyone has gone through a security screening.

          Hair cut, shoe shine, 15$ Beers, 20$ burgers. It’s intriguing. Non-denominational meditation space.
