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.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
