If I was a billionaire, I can promise you the world would be a better place. I certainly wouldn’t spend $80 million bulldozing a house in the hamptons. Think about how much student debt he could have paid off for people. Or cancer research.
 


Think about all the people the house project employed. The buzzdozers, the equipment manufacturers, the construction workers, the suppliers, etc. That 80 mill fed a lot of people.

Reminds me of that European country (forgot which one) that emplemented a huge yacht tax and then watched as all the 100 year old boat manufacturers go out of business.

Charity is great, but economic activity is better in the long run.

I understand this line of thinking, but the more you look into anything you spend your money on in this world you can find 500 human rights violations on the way down.

I get there are different levels of separation to it and we should all try to be better, but there's blood on all our hands.

Which is why people say that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Oh, for sure. David Tepper is way smarter than me when it comes to financial matters and investments. 100%.

But I sleep real well at night. He probably does too but I couldn't if I was him.

It’s a slippery slope though. Where do you draw the line? Too much corruption in this world to not contribute to it in some way, shape, or form. I understand certain lines have to be drawn though.

I have more student loans than most on here and don’t expect anyone to pay them off for me. 
 

Guess we will never know what you’d actually do if you had the money but my bet is not much. You live like a king compared to third world countries but I don’t see you giving away tour possessions to go live in poverty with them.

Tepper isn't going to invite you into his apocalypse bunker guys

The delicious irony is he won't be invited either. These wealthy morons think they'd be fine because they build bunkers and hire a bunch of private security but if the poo hits the fan guess who's actually going to be in the bunkers? The private security guys and their families. All your millions and billions basically just became worthless and they have guns so what are you gonna do about it?

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
