Jul 2

She was a few bucks short; had kids with her and she was trying to decide which items to put back. I could tell she was shaken and ready to cry as the assholes in line behind us huffed and puffed.

She asked for my phone number so she could pay me back when she had more money. I told her a better repayment would be if she voted Democrat and told all her friends and family to do so. I loudly mentioned people are hungry and can’t afford food because of Cheeto man.

So sick of the widening wealth gap. Why can’t all the ultra rich be like Mackenzie Scott? I read that she views immense fortunes as the product of collective societal effort and believes they should be used to empower others. So true.
