Be nice to these guys, please
They must be doing it hard. Especially, probably, the ones who try to make their living from us.

Offering them respect is a good one.
You have to find that respect for them within yourself first, to make it real. to make it work.
Giving a broke man dignity won't fill his stomach but it might just save his life.

Taking a ride will help too.
