Donors raise $233,000 to give US cart pusher, 90, chance at retirement
Dillon McCormick, an air force veteran, had been supporting himself by pushing carts in Louisiana’s triple-digit temperatures
Thousands of people have donated about a quarter of a million dollars to a 90-year-old US air force veteran who has been financially supporting himself by pushing shopping carts at a grocery store in sweltering Louisiana – and now has the option of retiring if he wants thanks to the strangers’ generosity.
The story centers on Dillon McCormick, who is among a growing number of Americans to extend their working careers well past the average retirement age as the cost of living in the US has soared and most employees’ wages have stagnated over the years, preventing many from being able to save.

While I applaud people for donating, each donation should come with calls to congress asking why on earth a 90 year old is forced to work to survive in our society. We should be ashamed
the elected feel no shame. its the new normal.
That's such a great idea! A site where we can pay a dollar to annoy a politician and that dollar goes to someone who needs it!! Can you make that?!
Sure, I’ll call it Shittysins United

I remember a post showing how to contact your representative, immediately followed by instructions for hiring a stripper-gram. I feel like glitter would be a great option for annoying politicians. That and gummy-dicks.
