Correct me if I'm wrong, but I notice that there's virtually ZERO

So, if we have an individual who is panhandling on the street or

consider them self-employed?

Of course, we're not talking about the professional bums who
supposedly actually manage to earn a decent living through their
panhandling type activities...
