EWOT: The Homeless Subway

This week I was thinking about what Rizzo said in one of his lectures about paying to have someone get removed from your side. He then mentioned that how rare it would have been for someone to pay a homeless person to step out of his seat and leave the presence of the giver. In the act of kindness, why don't we apply the same thing to those who play music in the Subway? Although they don't disperse our presence, they certainly are annoy us in a small way. Especially when you're trying to have a conversation with a friend that you are wanting to catch up with and suddenly you're rudely interrupted by a mariachi band or a guy playing the drums. I would make the effort to not only pay them but to tell them never to play on the train again because I know that I'm not the only one feeling that way. Not to stutter confusion but I want the application of giving money not only to be somewhat of a gift to them for begging but a statement from society that we would rather have you play elsewhere less disruptive and where we will not feel wrong for not assisting them from their past failures.
