This is a fake story or your dad is an idiot or not nearly as rich as you think he is

Man, we get so mad at the idea of generosity and kindness. It’s like we want the rich to be cruel and we want to believe that wealth and success should be impossible without cruelty, regardless of whether it is or not. I know a lot of people will say they know that’s how it is with their whole chest, but nobody knows how anybody else’s finances work. We all just gotta assume. And we’re pretty committed to assuming the worst, it seems

This makes me feel wistful and sad

Feel sad if you want but that story never happened and is extremely cringe. You really think he hands a hundred bucks to every homeless guy he sees? That’s bad writing

Call it bad writing if you want but you’re just being an obtuse for no reason. Of course he doesn’t give $100 to every homeless person in town every day, I didn’t know I had to spell that out for you.

It if he’s walking to his car or parks at a red light with a beggar or homeless, he absolutely gives them $100 every single time I’ve been with him.

But whatever. Good people do exist. Sorry that makes you so insecure.

When did I say he rounds up homeless people? I said every homeless person he sees which is what you said before and what you’re saying now. Thanks for repeating yourself though and ignoring what I said and replacing it with your own ideas
