RE: A Texas Couple Tips Their Waitress With A Car!
A good story...I wonder how many people do things like this, or of a similar nature, but it never makes the news or social media. Rather it just happens and never get's promoted as good news. Still, we live in a world where it seems people need validation, even rich ones.
Struck me as funny, they didn't want their names divulged but she's happy to have a close up photo published.
Like they say everyone has a twin walking around they don't know about, with millions of people probably more than one. A photo without a name can belong to anyone of them whereas a photo with a name can locate you and provide you to be a target of the ill minded in this world.
I think things like this happen alot, or maybe I'm just hoping they do! lol. I think most would actually maintain their anonymity and not go on tv about it! I'm a sucker for good news.
In fact, I just found and bookmarked the site: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ to see if they've got great GOOD news stories. I'm tired of all the bad news, I don't watch much tv news. I think we could use more encouraging stories.
If you were rich would you do something like this? This girl is saving up to go to college so she has ambition.
I tend to be quite generous by nature, with time, knowledge, support and sometimes money. The recipient needs to deserve it though. I'm no Mother Teresa though, far from it - Just a regular dude who likes to help people. Yes, if I was wealthy I would be quite philanthropic I think.
We don't want h the news, nothing but propaganda and fear-mongering.
Howdy again today sir galenkp! Yes, the news is very depressing and I don't know anything about your mainstream media down there but up here I'm sure you know their agendas. Gotta know who owns the companies so you can determin if it's worth watching or not.
I'd be the ultimate philanthropist. Mrs. J would have to keep me in check!
I am quite generous, but also value those who don't wait for handouts. I like proactivity, effort and ownership as a means to gain reward and so rather than handing someone some money I'd rather set up something that offers them sustainable income. Sort of like the "teach a man to fish" ethos.
Yeah me too, welfare doesn't work.
Seems more and more have their hand out these days though. Is it the same up there? What's unemployment like?
Well unemployment in Texas is almost unheard of because we're in such an economic boom and nationwide it's low, 3 something percent. But yes the entitlement mentality of the youth is just disgusting!
In real estate we talked to small business owners all the time and they all said the same thing..they couldn't find any young workers who wanted to work and none of them had a work ethic to begin with.
They DID expect to earn big wages just for showing up though. IF they showed up.
I think that entitlement is everywhere. It's a shame. Unemployment is low there...Ours is much higher, 8% or so. We have had a lot of manufacturing close down here which accounts for a lot of it. Not a good situation.
