"What if we cared about those living in poverty as much as we care about celebrities?"

1) You do not have a right to be the star of your own nationally-syndicated television show. That is a huge, huge privilege that is bestowed upon a very, very small amount of people in the entire nation. It's ok to have standards, like, must be competent, and must not be a horrible person.

When I used to work Thanksgiving and Black Friday, both were optional and I was paid time and a half. And since I needed the money more than I needed to suffer through my family, I was thankful for the opportunity to make money.
