I've been lucky enough to have made a good living for the last 40 years. I have no problem sharing some of that. During Covid, I tipped like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas... Why? Because I could. And because those I tipped were having a hard time making ends meet due to Covid restrictions.

Oh, and I don't believe in heaven (just like you don't)...
Like this post! Wouldn't it be nice if if the ones you have so generously helped support didn't need the tip money because they were being paid properly by the business that values their employees.
