Thread Name: BS: If you were a Billionaire
Subject: RE: BS: If you were a Billionaire
A few years ago, a big Bank in Buffalo bought 4000 football tickets around Thanksgiving so that the local football team would be a sell out and the game was then televised. The next segment on the news was how the food pantry wasn't sure they could do the free thanksgiving dinners for the homeless because they were 2000 dollars short of the cost for the food ... How nuts is that!! ... huh ... The football tickets are 48 bucks a piece and the bank buys 4000 of them so a stupid game can be televised and people treated them as heroes. Yet they had to put on the news that the homeless probably won't eat because the pantry was 2000 dollars short of funds for food.
