16. Buy the workers lunch!
I so often feel powerless to show appreciation for people who do the hard labor. I don't care whether they are formally documented. My grandfather wasn't. It frustrates me even more to know that they are being abused by the system, the president, and his hate-filled supporters.
When five Hispanic men showed up to replace my roof (hail, not hurricane), one of the fellows asked if I would order a plain pizza for them for lunch and tried to give me money to pay for it. I insisted on paying and decided they needed two large pizzas, one with all the toppings
Oh my God, you people are saints.
A lot of the other posts say that they see people WORKING. It escapes them.
Utterly. They don't see people sitting around, drinking all day, they see people WORKING. Illegal, legal, whatever, work provides human dignity. A good thing.
