Also, free food at various Sikh Temples called Langar is served. The food quality is that of middle class as it is not made to serve the poor but rather the average working person attending, thus the quality of food is home cooked quality of the average home.
Also, no need for doing the dishes after.

My uncle was sort of a con man, always trying to “work the system” rather than work for an honest week’s pay. My mother always said that he wouldn’t need to put half the effort into an actual job and he’d have a better lifestyle. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always wondered about the psychology behind such a thing — as a programmer, I live by the motto that shortcuts and code plagerism are your best friends; lazy programmers are the best programmers because they will go way out of their way to find the simplest, reusable method to do something especially if it will cure tedium and monotony. I would die of boredom if I had to spend day after day dragging myself from dumpster to dumpster searching for old food and abandoned possessions.

I do think that dumpster diving is interesting, as well as garbage picking! You can find some good things from the garbage.

Good Luck!

As far as mooching being wrong, I’d have to say yes. There are three types of people in society:
Producers – those who create jobs and wealth. They pay taxes. They produce things that other people need.
Takers – those who find ways to take from the producers — includes bureaucrats.
Moochers – those who benefit because someone else worked at some point.

If someone can’t work, it’s one thing. If they won’t work (and want someone else to do it for them), that’s another thing entirely … and it’s wrong in my book.

Where will we end up as a society when the number of moochers and takers exceeds the number of producers? We’re fast approaching that critical mass.
