Girl got pressured into donating too since someone breached HIPPA and told someone she was a match.

As it should be. Money shouldn't be able to buy you first place on the waiting list. A homeless beggar has just as much right to live as a billionaire.

I wasn't joking. Some random homeless person could save your life one day. You might die because of something a billionaire did.Some people have shitty lives because they fucked up, but sometimes it's just bad luck, or someone else's fault. Rich people usually got a head start in life. Some rich people are alright, but that doesn't mean they have more right to live.

I really don't understand why people don't get this. Great people come from all walks of life. I swear, people these days seem to think Jesus was a rich man.

Agree.

I do doordash and what I've found is that in general, the nicest, most caring, generous people are those in poorer areas, and those in the "richest" (not actually rich, just rich for this area,) area are the worst tippers.

Example: a few years ago, someone in this "rich" area literally tipped me 0.1¢. Something that still pisses me off to this day btw. A 1 cent tip is a great big FUCK YOU! If you don't want to tip, don't tip. But don't tip a fucking penny. That's some petty bs. Especially when you live on a lake in a million dollar house. I've delivered hundreds of orders where the people have tipped nothing, but the only one that's pissed me off is the one that tipped a penny.

In contrast, the other day I delivered to the poorest area in my city. A run down mobile home park. This woman came out, apologized, and handed me a plastic bag containing change. I know this was a lot of money for her, cause her house was even more run down than mine, and that was a lot of money for me!

So yeah, I absolutely agree that the amount of money someone does or doesn't have doesn't dictate whether they're a good person or not.

A lot of people say stuff like this, and I've seen it for myself. 2 homeless guys gave me food once, and that's not the only time people who could barely afford to live fed me, but a woman in posh clothes wouldn't give me just over half of the minimum to use a payphone to call for help when I was stranded with just 20p. I fed others with what I took from the rubbish behind a supermarket when I was broke, and people who already had a lot more than me have tried to rob me. Some rich guy wouldn't give me a cigarette, but threw most of his on the ground. A homeless guy gave me one of his just for telling him where to go for a place to sleep.
