Ninth Nightly Address: December 30, 2024

  • Summary

  • I sincerely appreciate all of those who reached out to me with feedback about last night‘s address. It means a lot to me that you’re listening and really thinking about the things that I’m saying, trying to see the points that I’m making, and also being bold in calling out ways that I was insensitive and could’ve made it better. I want to make sure that everyone in this movement understands we’re all caught up in this together. I was remiss in the way that I told the story about delivering a DoorDash order for a single sprite. I made it sound like the customer was the villain in the story, and the person who should be shamed for doing wrong. That was not my intention. So I would like to take a second stab at trying to make the point in a hopefully less insensitive way that might resonate. The villain in the story was the company that thinks it’s OK to charge someone nine dollars for a single bottle of Sprite. The company that thinks it’s OK to just profit off of having no real actual contribution other than hosting a Web server. They’re taking advantage of people and that’s wrong. We all know that it is wrong. Whether you’re a blue voter or a red voter, whether you see the humanitarian side or the financial side, either way it’s wrong. Not wrong to rely on DoorDash in a time of need when you may not be able to do something for yourself, but of DoorDash to think that it’s OK to take advantage of people simply because they can.

    I will keep it short tonight except to say one last thing. I am so inspired by the people who are a part of this movement and how we pick each other up and support each other. If we keep focusing on things that we have in common instead of finding reasons to divide, we can make America the greatest it’s ever been.
