      I love stories like this, hats off to this young man and his great work ethic and humility. And I love that the company realized they had someone special and rewarded him for ithttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/good-news/man-walks-for-miles-to-first-day-of-work-ceo-gifts-his-own-car-as-thanks/ar-AAAbhlu?ocid=spartandhp …

      So much BS in this. Everyone wants something better. Transit to work isn't (and more importantly, shouldntly be) a privilege and cebrating those who make good for their employees in a low unemployment context says nothing about their character.

      So you would have preferred them to not give him a car?

      Can we both agree that the idea that thoughtful, dedicated employees shouldn't need handouts -- that public transit and private support should get you to work -- is reasonable? I've been lucky enough to see how poorly distributed "luck" is and I resent it.

          Got to slide in here to agree with Alex and point out that glorifying rich people bestowing alms on the poor and “modestly” telling everyone about it is a concept directly out of the Middle Ages.

          That said, this made both people happy, so the act is laudable, but I wonder if the CEO would enjoy being taxed more for the benefit of public transit?

          While this is reasonable for an office job in an urban area, it is pretty standard to have "must have a reliable vehicle" as a prerequisite for many jobs, and as a presumption in many areas. And it's also pretty standard to have to call in now & then with "sorry, my car died".

          I almost brought that up, but I'll admit that our mass transit sucks relative to many places. Do I expect a subway in remote towns, no - but I'm for the spirit of which Alex is advocating.

          Oh, I think I misunderstood your point. Yes we can agree on that, but I also appreciate the employer doing something that they didn't need to do.

          But the exact problem is it being their discretion. Power isn't given.
