Found this to be interesting. Rings true.

People are all fallible but responsible people fact check things as best they can before spreading rumors as is so easily done on the internet these days.

To not do that is being irresponsible. Being irresponsible is a bad thing. Look it up. Gotta keep track of these things, what is good and what is bad, carefully these days.

Opinions are OK. Just don’t pitch an opinion as documented fact.

Politically correct is just jargon that means caring about other people enough to watch what you might say due to desire to not offend others. Its the old “treat others like you would like to be treated yourself” thing. It’s a basic virtue related to good manners. Good manners have nothing to do with politics. Of course that will never prevent people from still being offended on occasion but it’s the thought that counts.
Financial transactions have nothing to do with being politically correct. Good ones benefit both sides. Similar to good manners which influence political correctness but different.
FWIW.
