@RepJackKimble No but you make millions through insider trading, don’t you? There’s no more sympathy left for you. Time for you to have empathy for the people you serve.
Crazy concept, but what if rent could HELP build your credit score without being able to hurt it?
If someone consistently pays rent on time for years, why shouldn’t that count as financial responsibility?
Feels weird that surviving counts less than managing debt. 🤷🏻♀️
I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.
Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.
"It's okay," I said. "Take it."
He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.
I used to be a math tutor.
I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"
He nodded. "I don't get it."
I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.
The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.
The day after that, five kids came.
Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."
Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.
Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.
"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."
I'm not closing the bakery.
I think I finally found my purpose.
It's not cookies. It's community.
@SherryBrow24240@LeadingReport Oh your generation was definitely entitled. Still are. Maybe not you specifically but after 20 years in retail pharmacy, trust me. Y’all definitely are.
@mitchlafon We’re learning too many things they don’t want us to know. They can’t censor it like they can on Facebook, and that’s a problem for them. They want an American company to buy it so that they can do a repeat of Zuch and Meta and control the narrative.
@AskCapitalOne@BrianSloboda Unacceptable. If this was us missing a credit card payment you’d be sending us to collections by now. Other banks affected are operating now. Fix your shit!!!
I’ve been a @CapitalOne customer for years and never had any problems with them, but the way they handled this situation, they lost me as a customer. I’m done #CapitalOneDown
