>> But recently, after greeting an applicant with How you doing?, he replied, Better than I deserve.
He’s clearly a Dave Ramsey listener (that’s a Ramsey response).
Rush may be the ideological leader of conservatism ... but Dave Ramsey is the living model of applied conservatism. Rush has the ideas right — but to emulate his life will send you in the wrong direction. Ramsey leads a life worth emulating.

That “challenge/response” is a pretty good code for the worldview of the person you’re talking to.
Dave Ramsey says that if the pizza delivery guy answers it “correctly”, you should tip him extra, because he’s working an extra job in order to be financially responsible,
and he’s not going to go blow it on a sixpack.
I listen to Dave Ramsey whenever I get a chance.
“Live like no one else so that you can live like no one else.”
PSS I also bought a Hustler zero turn mower from a gentlemen who gave me the ‘Better than I deserve’ greeting. But he did give me a great deal and I paid cash.
