I just came from a news....I don't know what to call it, really.....from MSM, where Candace Owens, Michael Dyson and a moderator, spent eleven minutes yelling over each other's voices and interrupting one another.
I lasted about 3 minutes. It was insane and pointless to watch.
That's why people like Dave Rubin. He brings the people on and you get to hear them talk. There's no shock, no "gotcha" moments or debunking going on. He lets the guest talk so you know exactly what they're about. You can listen and understand what it is they're trying to say. You don't have to agree with them but once you understand what it is they're saying, you can make an informed and coherent case for how you think. It's learning. True knowledge isn't just about things you agree with. It's about all ideas, good and bad.
Dave Rubin gets it. The Young Turks don't. They want to make a contest of it. Competition is great, in some cases, but when knowledge becomes dogma, the indoctrinated are highly tempted to cheat. That can't end well.

Mr. Indelible
Incredibly, the best tippers do not come from those who make the best money. It's the regular Joes, like other serving staff, cab drivers, factory workers and construction workers who tip the best. We used to say "The size of the tip is inversely proportional to the increased value of their clothes". In other words , the better they dressed, the worse the tip.
And no....it's not a terrible system, except for those who are always watching every dime in their pocket. I worked for 15 years as a server and I would never have been able to get by except for this "terrible system". It's quite apparent that you've never worked in this type of industry and you're one of those you love to abuse their server, and do they ever exist and they NEVER tip. Self entitled jerks who complain about everything from "My potatoes are too hot" to "My corn is touching my mashed potatoes" and "Why do I have so much food?". The world revolves around them and complain so they can feel justified about not leaving a tip.
Self righteous do gooders like Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Is that who you mean. "God...protect us from those with good intentions". That's what I say. If you tip me just to feel good about yourself, keep it. I don't need your alms that bad. Tip because I've done a good job, otherwise keep it.

Now, it's all about race and gender. Actually, it's boomers who give the most to charity. Since you insist that whites have all the money and minorities are poor, it would seem that it's those rich white boomers are the ones doing the most to help.
Also, I lost everything to a divorce and my reaction to the death of my son which happened within months of each other. I started drinking heavily and got to the point where I couldn't hold down a job. After about 10 years of this, I straightened myself out but by then I had put myself in a position where a good paying job was out of reach. I worked at jobs that didn't pay much more than minimum wage. So, I adjusted my approach to money and saving it. I stayed away from owning a car. WAY to expensive to buy, insure, keep fuelled and maintain. I started to do the small things to save. I didn't spend my spare change. It was rolled up and put into a savings account. I got a deal so that every time I used my debit card, the card would round my payment to the nearest 5 dollar amount and the difference between the price and the payment went into a savings account. Every time I walked to do my shopping, I put 10 bucks into a savings account. If the clerk would tell me that I saved 3 bucks on my shopping bill, that 3 bucks went into a savings account. At the end of every month, I would pay my rent, go shopping and the rest would go into a savings account, usually somewhere between 100 and 200 bucks. When I got to $10,000 bucks, I invested 7000 of it into investment plans recommended by my banker. I nickled and dimed my way into a 6 figure savings account.
Does that make me morally superior? Hardly, but it sure meant that I was determined to do better for myself and my daughter. Oh yeah, through all that time, I would put about 10 bucks worth of groceries into the food bank bin at our local grocery store. Not the same thing as taking in children, which is an extremely laudable thing to do but this moderately rich white old man did try to help.
