--yes it's a great story but it makes you think of all those who will not be this lucky, because that restaurant owner is extremely rare. We all KNOW just how rare. And on the flip side we all know that not all small business people are in a position to be a good Samaritan, even if they wanted to. Many small businesses operate on a shoestring, or seriously in debt.
So as heartwarming as this is, it's not reality. But if it gives anyone hope-- then the story is worth something. If it makes any skinflints think about how they could free up a little extra for their employees (who they know are not fairly compensated)--then it is worth something. If it keeps us who are better off aware of (& helping any way we can) the millions who are not, then the story is worth something.
A little too much Tiny Tim in the telling of it. I share that cynicism. Cynicism comes from anger. A healthy anger. A sensitivity to injustice. An understanding of the theft and greed at the bottom of it.
WHY SHOULD THIS RICH COUNTRY FEEL LIKE LIVING IN THE (Bloody) WORLD OF CHARLES DICKENS? !!!!!!
