Agreed. Topic got sorta derailed with all the NASA/athletes/CEO inciting stuff, heehee. But that's Brief's job, and somebody’s gotta do it.

Thing is, the hospital acknowledged the problem: they don't pay all their employees enough to live beyond poverty level, to the point that they recognized that their employees need help.

They obviously don't feel any obligation to help, feeling like Brief does. They need their money for bonuses and higher pay for the CEOs.

Solution: Let the employees who they pay a little better pick up the tab! Let THEM pay what the hospital does not by going out and buying food. They're suckers, they have compassion. Sucker employees, heehee.

Now, go to the Dollar Store, and donate for Christmas presents for military families. You see, our government, er, I mean, we taxpayers, apparently don't pay our military enough to buy their families Christmas presents. A precedent is set. Let the taxpayers, who are already paying military wages, pick up another tab!

This is the way our society thinks. Let the workers pay. And pay. And Pay. Under no circumstances should any company profit or executive pay be compromised. We have stockholders! We have skills! We are better and the fact that we make more shows it! Er, did I get the gist of what soem posters here believe in thier, er, compassionate ever lovin' lil hearts?
