    Default am i the asshole?

    my father's tenant knows a quote "migrant" who apparently needs a bike so he can look for work. i have a spare bike in the garage (the tenant knows this) and my pops asked if i'd be willing to give it up. the tenant is a liberal (ukraine, blm, vaccines) etc.

    i don't know the guy so my answer is no. i'm guessing he's one of the thousand "asylum seekers" aka... illegal immigrants shipped to chicago. i don't have any pity for you. the city is already bending over backwards for your welfare.

    now, IF i knew for certain he was legal, 'fresh off the boat' and honestly looking for work i'd gladly just give him the fuccin' bike. i'd even walk to the gas station and inflate the tires for him. of course that's too awkward of a question to ask so it is what it is. i don't know dude. i don't know what his intentions are. why can't he walk to find work? what kind of work does he expect to find as an illegal? am i obligated to do the 'right thing'? am i being too political? fucc that.

    ...am i the asshole?

    I would not help a Liberal. You're doing God's work by refusing.

    the problem you have, is as the world turns into a gigantic toilet, you don't see yourself asking for help from a liberal/illegal.

    you'd probably even be more inclined to lend him the bike or give it up if they straight up called themselves a tourist.

    Many people face challenges in finding and securing employment, and access to transportation is a substantial, formidable hurdle. Offering your bicycle could genuinely help this individual in his job search.

    On the other hand, searching for employment while relying on a bicycle may prove to be a more arduous endeavor than walking. Frequent stops along the way might render your bicycle susceptible to theft. Especially in Chicago. Your father's tenant should offer to drive him around. You should tell him that.

    99 posts. I need just one more.

    Listen, you don't have to do anything you don't want to. Having no compassion or worry about someone less fortunate than you is not a requirement. Just find other ways to be a good person.
