Evangelical churches preying on people’s fears and insecurities for money? That doesn’t sound like them. /s

It’s depressing how many people unironically get off on bad inspirational poster shit like that. These are the same kinds of people that get sucked into MLM schemes (and never really understand why they’re not rich yet) and say things like “winners just win.” We’ve all know them; we are surrounded by them. 

I also came here to comment on just how incredibly bad he is at writing. Even going beyond his misspellings and garbage sentences, his paragraphs are a meandering stream of consciousness that barely seem to relate to one another, much less tell a coherent story.

Most of it, yeah. Why shouldn’t they? 

Did this sound good in your head as you typed it out? 

Disagree with what? Nobody is arguing the logistics of the matter. Are you disputing that young tech/marketing talent (or really most people with options) would rather live and work in NYC than Newark?

Nobody assumed you’re wealthy, so weird intro.

It’s funny how you guys always “guess” that someone that thinks the rich owe society more are poor.

I’m about 98% confident you don’t understand how marginal tax rates work.

It wouldn’t have been a good choice when they’re competing with Google and every other tech giant in NYC for workers and during interviews they’re forced to add, “Oh, and you’ll have to work in Newark.”

It is honestly odd how you can’t seem to wrap your mind around the concept of a good-faith gift/tip that is not contractually required.

Bringing this one out of the grays, because I want more people to see how deeply you worship greed. 

That’s not a good analogy at all, and continues to miss the entire point that this isn’t a commission or some other form of contractually obliged compensation. 

Yes, they should tip more. They should also pay more in taxes. And it’s not “just because,” it’s because it’s the right thing to do and it makes other people’s lives better at little expense to themselves.

JFC. It’s not about the contract. It’s not about what someone is contractually obligated to do or entitled to. And I believe you know this, yet you’re going to continue to beat on that strawman. (Which is funny considering how you and that other guy that’s definitely not you have now both invoked the “Welcome to the…

Ha, “decisions of this financial magnitude?” He could have given the caddy 20% and still walked away with over a million dollars. There was no “magnitude” to this decision on his end.

No, it really doesn’t diminish what other people do at all. That’s a weak argument rich people use to justify their greed.

My boss won our office Super Bowl pool last week. He took the entire office out for lunch (which cost well more than 10% of his winnings). He didn’t need to do that, because it wasn’t in his fucking contract, but he did, because he’s a decent person that didn’t actually need that extra money and it’s customary in our…

Why would you make that point when it has nothing to do with this story about a rich prick stiffing a servant on a customary tip while justifying it by pointing out that the servant is poor? 

It fascinates me how so many people willingly miss the point that a multimillionaire can afford to tip 10% without feeling a thing.
