Sam Kinnison neat story. You see in the clip he was at Dangerfields, Rodney helped him a lot when he was starting out like he did a lot of comedians.
When Rodney was very ill Sam spoke to his wife and said, ya know I dont know what to say to him when I visit. His wife said, he would love to hear your new stuff, you know like a stand up routine for one. So Sam visited did his routine and then started bringing in all the comedians Rodney had helped along the way. His wife said it was the greatest gift Rodney got in his last days.
So ole Sam is not just a screaming lunatic after all. Nice fella.

Liberals never care about people, until they think someone else doesn't care about people. Then they are suddenly crusaders of justice and humanitarianism. But only with their words; never with their actions.

Has Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, tried to end world hunger? No?
I guess spotting double standards is difficult for some.

I'll raise you 5.7 billion from Musk: LINK
Not that any of these people's money will end world hunger, nor is it their responsibility to do so. If the reasons for poverty persist, the money will dry up quickly, and the problem will remain. You can't just keep throwing money at problems.

Because there is no money to be made in solving world hunger. Why didn't Jeff Bazos attempt to solve world hunger instead of buying his newspaper?

Lmao. $43b would probably just be over $10 for each poor, starving person in the world (just pulling a number out of my arse and assuming around 3 billion people are poor).
Musk is already fighting climate change and trying to lead humanity to the stars... why should he also be responsible for solving world hunger?

I’m not trying to call this out and I’ll happily take the downvotes for this post if I’m wrong but something about this does not sound right. Kinsion died in 1992 while Rodney died in the 2000s. Did this happen before kinisons death cause It couldn’t have happened in Rodney’s last days.

Covert envy is the open wondering of why a man who is rich is spending his money how he wants by posing it against some ideal. Make your own fortune and end hunger you envious monster.
