Maybe. But Tepper donated 67 million to Carnegie Mellon when he was in Pittsburg and has given somewhere around 23 million here I believe. I am sure some of it is PR, but knowing where he came from, I believe part of it is just him wanting to give back. 

 

 

Philanthropy is what rich people do to convince the unwashed masses not to raise their taxes (or grab their pitchforks) nothing more.

Nah, they don't need to do that. They just pay lobbyist and politicians to write the laws they want and then they use media (Fakebook, X, TikTok, Fox News, NY Times, etc) to keep us unwashed masses fighting between ourselves over matters that really don't matter instead of the things that do.

Idiocracy is what insecure people post on a message board bashing those who donate

If the Teppers actually cared, they could've given each of the roughly 6000 families in NC whose houses were lost in the floods $1.5m a piece to rebuild and still have a $10 billion nest egg to fall back on. Instead they funneled the equivalent of pocket change through layers of greasy bureaucracy designed to dilute the impact as much as possible.

So could our govt with tax dollars vs billions thrown here and there 

but that is a grievance for another forum

i dont know the Tepper’s  motives.  

i do know how they chose to spend their personal money is up to them

They did something to help. Thats all i know

All I know is he sucks at running a NFL franchise. So fug him and his wife until we back from being a laughing stock in the league.
