Just to follow up on this post from earlier in the evening where Andy Richter went on a rant against landlords who are now requiring tenants to pay rent upfront because of disruptions to the market from COVID-19 and the eviction moratorium. . .
Andy Richter is having trouble renting his son an apartment near USC for some inexplicable reason https://t.co/RQXG9w8V6d

. . .Richter is now angry at liberals critical of the “rich guy” who is paying his kid’s rent:
And there's also lots of "shut up and pay, rich guy" from people who aren't RW, which I have gotten whenever I say anything on here about financial inequity. And while I understand being angry at wealthy ppl as a general stance, I don't understand this instance…

You see, just because he’s rich doesn’t mean he can’t point out what’s unfair:
My parents weren't and aren't rich. I, through a combo of luck and talent ended up making a good living in entertainment. I don't know why that means I can't point out when something is unfair, when I'm basically agreeing with the person who's telling me to shut up

And he wants everyone to know that he can still speak out against misogyny and racism even though he’s male and white:
I'm a feminist male. Do you really not want me to criticize sexism? I'm for racial equality. Does my whiteness mean I can't speak out against racism? It's puzzling why people with whom I largely agree want me to stfu about income equality, exploitation of the poor, etc.

Yes, keep speaking. Please do:
I can understand that it bugs someone that my kid goes to an expensive school and that I can afford to help him with an apartment. Truly. But I don't get why you'd want me to shut up about having an experience with landlord greed. Doesn't me shutting up just serve the landlords?

Well, since he asked. . .
Maybe Richter should pull his kid out of USC and donate the money?
If parents at New York’s most expensive private schools really give a shit about “equity” they would take their kids out of the Gossip Girl track, put them in the shittiest public school possible, and donate the $60k they save in tuition to the PTA https://t.co/EldTe4KdPo
