So I've decided to use my skills for good

I'm a 30-year culinary professional, who's worked in some of the most notable kitchens in New York City.

A couple of days ago I was having a little crisis of "how can I actually help this horrible, horrible world?" and I realized…



What I realized, and with no offense meant to any of you who do the same thing, who make food for people who need it…this is my profession, and to be painfully honest in my 2 hour shift I can probably do the work of 2 or 3 unskilled volunteers, if not more. I'm not trying to upstage, I'm donating my skills as much as my time. It's like Lewis Hamilton driving an ambulance.

Why did you have to brag about this on the DUmp off all places. My Grandma used to say, if you want to do something for somebody do it because you want to. Don't do it if you want anything in return.

As a wise guy said 2000 years ago:

Quote
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing

I don't post what I and my wife do in charity, and not just to preclude hateful Progs attacking orgs I contribute/volunteer to/with (which some Progs do!). It's sufficient that God knows what and how much/little.

That, and maybe more. He's not just bragging, but shamelessly  campaigning.  Is there an assistant dictator slot open over there? Or, he just can't get enough of hearing about his greatness.

He lives in the the richest, most informed, advanced, and generous country in history. Yet, he includes the sentence below...
