    Damn just heard a dude ask people if they have five bucks or any spare change. I believe in behavioural economics that’s called anchoring.

      I gave a guy $20 recently. Went to coles and got it out. He looked like he needed it. He was sitting outside the shops with a sign. He saw me about a month later on a tram and told me it really helped him out. Why are we supposed to be able to laugh at the homeless and or broke? I think it’s kinda pathetic.
