Youtuber Philly D on why the GoFundMe for Burker King worker has been so successful: anger.

“That there’s lots of everyday people that look at your situation and go, “Here’s part of the fucking problem” There’s this good guy, great worker, super loyal. And in exchange for somewhere between a quarter and a third of a person’s life they got a Starbucks tumbler. It initially just kind of served as a another example of people not being appreciated. A reminder that you are just a thing to your corporate overlords. That you just have a stellar record, and they don’t lift you up for that. They’d fucking bury you under the Burger King if it would give them an extra nickel.” -Phillip DeFranco, July 1st, 2022 (Youtube) Article for more context: https://nypost.com/2022/07/01/burger-king-employee-who-didnt-miss-a-day-for-27-years-gets-300k-in-donations/ GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/kevin-27-years?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer Edit: typo
