She got a less than satisfactory grade on her essay (0/25) not for her personal beliefs but she lacked factual evidence to support her stance. The Bible is not an acceptable source yet despite that she put in a complaint saying her rights were violated.

“She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be "detrimental" because that would put people "farther from God's original plan for humans." Is one quote directly from her essay.

Naively I did try and maintain friendship with them because of the years we had been friends but another red flag arose. Soon as I quit Church and Christianity they completely stopped talking to me. I valued them but they didn’t value me unless it was under their conditions

I found it odd that suddenly people at the church suddenly didn’t reach out to me anymore or really engage with me and then later from a friend I found out they were talking about me behind my back. I did confront them both but neither have admitted much fault.

Nothing is unfair here more like your actions caught up with you and you’re facing the consequences for said actions. Good luck finding a job as not just a white suprematist but also a white women who openly wore Black face online for everyone to see.

Does your current phone still work just fine and not need to be updated? Could the money you would spend on this go to better things or needs? Ask yourself these questions and consider the suffering of people in Congo who are in forced slave labor to provide parts for these phones.

When I look at our system in America on a financial level I see the negative impacts of greed in every corner. You cannot convince me the corporations (not small businesses) can’t afford to pay their employees better and that poor people in general can’t have a better quality of life.

I see the struggles of both sides and I don’t think we are to blame it’s the cooperations getting over on both employees and the consumer to save on profits.

This comes with other tip based services such as dashing and I’ve dashed before. You’re hardly paid anything by the company itself and the customer is paying more for the delivery than they would in person, this includes tax. Now they must come up with proper tip or the dasher loses out.

People may scream “Get another job” and why I understand that point I’m going to make another: If every server took your advice who would be there to serve you? Restaurants are already short staffed depending on area so when you want to go out consider that and also the work servers do.

From the customer stand point they’re footing the bill for not just their food and taxes on it but also have to come up with money to tip their server and make sure it’s enough as tips can be taxed or often are split in a tip share.
