A young man, who works as a night stocker at a grocery store, used to walk 5 miles to work every day—until a stranger’s kind act recently turned that bitter situation around.
One day, Kroger employee John Brandeberry, from Toledo, Ohio, was walking to work during a snowstorm. Motorist Jimmy Preston happened to see him. He pulled over and offered Brandeberry a lift.
OK, sure a feel good story, some citizens got of there ass to help a poor working slob like you and me. How about the citizens find the root cause of why driving a car is so expensive? Maybe vote the correct way or get involved and remove BS safety laws and taxes that remove the lower class from affording a car.....Na its easier and feels better to help this guy and then watch when he fails because the car breaks or the property tax is due. Sorry for the buzz kill, but I am sick of seeing citizens forced to help able bodied people who are responsible but can't make it because of laws that hold us back. P.S. Back in the early 2000's I was told not to go to Town Hall budget meetings and give my opinion or my house may burn before the fire trucks could arrive. I live less then a quarter mile from the fire house. Zipsaw

each Christmas (week of Thanksgiving) I have my lawyer go via the prosecutors office and find a really good recipient for a cash secret Santa gift. She finds one and makes the delivery for me. I do not know who and the recipient does not know who from. Only requirement is it can not be a drug or booze abuser. She gives me a general run down in January. Usually an abused woman who husband went to prison for it and holds a job or two trying to provide for her children. She does not charge me for this help and it keeps my money local and no high paid executive gets a fucking cut.

ReplyDelete"To top it all off, he even got a bike rack with a bicycle for when the weather is favorable."
ReplyDeleteSo he can drive his bike to work with him?
Good story though - always nice to see decent people helping decent people.
Now the kid's going to be paying for gas, insurance, registration, car repairs on a minimum wage income.
ReplyDeleteHe'd be better off with a mountain bike and some good rain gear. Or a moped.
