The problem to me is that people with spare money are greedy, and when the chips are down, are unwilling to help people who need help, even if giving that help

The problem to me is that people with spare money are greedy, and when the chips are down, are unwilling to help people who need help, even if giving that help would only make a small dent in the giver's finances. This goes for investors, corporate leaders, and well-off individuals.
For example, Kroger's Pick Up obviously became very popular during the pandemic, and I was grateful for it. But they had a policy that you couldn't tip the workers putting groceries in your trunk. WTF?? Now Kroger is charging $5 per pickup order (only sometimes). So it's okay to pay the big company extra, but not okay to pay the person doing the work. Fuck them, I put a tip in the trunk and tell people to take it.
Most large businesses are just despicable, and the people at the top are by association, because they institute these "you're under my thumb" policies.
