Not sure which thread to ask this, but how long would Chris survive as a homeless?
My experience of the homeless in large UK cities is that there are a surprising number of them who can live for years, decades even.
On one hand They tend to be the ones who are either sympathetic enough that they make enough to scrape by, living in a squat or occasionally a tent and makeshift shelter.
They have periods in the hospital and shelters, and seem to be part of a group of them who watch out for each other.
The others are the aggressive beggar sort who live by intimidating people, be they younger people for “donations” or other beggars to “tax” them for their begging.
Commonly this sort are addicted to drugs, so also resort to theft, burglary, shoplifting, pickpocketing, prostitution and other means.
I hear tell of some who made 200-300 squids a day, which went all up their arms and on sugar.
Anyway digressions aside, the point is that all of the people who survive on the streets are street smart or tough in one or more ways.
Impressive in a tragic way, but our Chris, is a tubby spoiled man child who has never even been in shape and is physically weak.
He has not even had the experience of having to stick up for himself in jail to toughen him a bit.
Realistically, how long would he survive?
