(14,515 posts)A viral GoFundMe campaign raised more than $250,000 for 72-year-old Domino's delivery driver Barbara Gillespie after she fell while delivering a pizza in South Carolina. The fundraiser, titled "Bless You Barbara," was organized by Lacey Keighron and her family, whose doorbell camera captured the incident on February 2, 2023.

(4,462 posts)... why I hate the Der Republikanische Partei so much. If I have to explain it after you watch this, then there's little hope you'll ever understand.

(114,650 posts)My contemporaries have worked until the age of 75, saving every dime they could get. Mot have retired now but you can bet they're not traveling. Their homes are small and convenient, they tend to drive things like electric bicycle instead of cars, and there is not a palm tree nor swimming pool in sight. All of them are hoping they don't outlive their savings.
Door Dash is a bit strenuous for most of them, we all wrecked our bodies instead of sitting in padded furniture at desks. Graveyard shift at a gas kiosk is more doable.
All of this is the result of the systematic looting of the Americans who work hard to keep this country running in order to create and maintain an aristocratic class that is rich enough to remain so through their heris in perpetuity. If this post makes you fearul and angry, good. The predators are not finished.

And you have no choice whether to contribute to the war funds and Trump & Co lining their pockets or not.
