Handing 650m to a guy worth 20.6 billion is not fuging good.....

Gives 3m for tax write offs for a feel good story, gets 650 back to fund his pet project. 

Meanwhile.....

As of April 30, 2024, there are 2,731 individuals experiencing homelessness in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. This total includes 1,610 single individuals, 117 unaccompanied youth, 281 households with minor children (totaling 940 people), and 28 families with multiple adults (totaling 61 people).

Majority of these homeless in Charlotte chose this life style. Interact with them everyday 

Plus this money can’t be used for the homeless outreach so point is null.

ITs ok we all choose the lifestyle of working instead of sitting back being billionaires and getting government handouts.

I hear you, but there isn’t a reality where the homeless would get hotel occupancy tax revenue.

That money always goes to a building project.

What are you personally doing to help or volunteer?  We don't have to be billionaires to do something about it. What have you done so far this year to make a difference?

Yep, corporate welfare is a thing.

Homelessness is expanding, as you can imagine, especially with rents as they are, the dearth of affordable housing for sale, and high a$$ interest rates. The government, along with the Fed created artificially created all of this. 

We're a nation where plutocrats do the bidding of oligarchs, and the proletariat stands by and does nothing because it has been thoroughly brainwashed and manipulated by the masterful execution of divide-and-conquer by those who continue to line their pockets to the detriment of the lower and middle classes.

My ex-boss, arguably the best that I ever had, used to love having discussions about where America was headed. He is a Carolina-born, white registered Republican. At the time, I was a black registered Democrat. He was roughly a decade younger than me, and he outright told me that his parents were dumb racists living out the legacy of divide-and-conquer and raised him to do the same. He told me about how some of his family used the N-word as a matter of course, and essentially lived an existence to prop up those politicians that spewed the politics of divisiveness while they lined their pockets at everyone else's expense. He said that it wasn't until he got to highschool and began to experience other people that he realized that his parents had fed him a bunch of lies and bullshit¡t about how the world is and how it should be. He used to tell me, "The only way things are going to change in America is through blood." At the time, I thought that he was just being dramatic (and you have to realize that this was during Obama's first term and pre-pandemic). But now I'm thinking that he is right. I say this because I don't think that many people are prepared to change the way of our world via blood. If this world is going to change, it's going to take the youth to do it. Us old-heads are tired. With us, the roots of Cynicism and Stoicism run deep.

Stephen Furtick lives in a 16 million dollar mansion but his church doesn't have to pay taxes. At least Tepper pays taxes on his money and I would be willing to bet he does more to help the people of Charlotte than money bags Furtick.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
