My fiances boss on FB was the first I saw this, and he is a conservative/libertarian.
He extolled the young mans stick to-itness, AND also the idea of the owner paying for better work. He always pays above the areas standards because he believes better pay equals better employees, and a larger pool of talent to draw from. Many on his little thread have liked, shared and commented in the positive, across the political / idealogical spectrum, this one small story has bridged and connected with many, on both sides.
This is what our country needs, positive and open discourse about how we help each other and ourselves by lifting people up.
