    Outgrew the 100 plus year old brick building because it would cost too much to modernize. City grew. The school was replaced by a massive property the city built. He just went in and turned the first floor into a day care facility and community center and the third and second floor into elderly apartments. Section 8 basically for poor elderly to live in at little to no cost to them. Dude did this in many run down towns.

    We lived in a coal region that imploded when the mines were flooded during the Knox Mine disaster. Look it up. He used his football skills to go to an Ivy League school. Got drafted by the NY giants but skipped the NFL to go into business. He saw all these old industries collapsing. Bought their old buildings and turned them into a data storage company. Started with microfilm storage up to digital management in the 00’s. Dude kept Scranton Pennsylvania alive for decades with his city investments. Never really asked for much back because he made a living in an honest way.

    When the mob burned down his warehouse in my home town. Sadly he had to close up the offices there. Because it was no longer safe to do business with the DOJ for criminal court filing storage. The Buffalino mob bosses court case was stored in the warehouse and just by chance that warehouse caught on fire before the new fire safety system was installed. He was a stand up dude nearly destroyed by the Italian mob because he did business with the feds. That fire burned for a month. That’s how many records burned up in that building. Dude persevered through that tragedy. And didn’t blame anyone for it. Just took it on the chin. But I know the truth because my grandfather. RIP. His right hand man. Had to go to court to defend the company from the lawsuits after the fire. They had security footage of NY plate Cadillacs in the parking lot the night of the fire. Kennedy assassination records were lost in that fire. Sadly.

      HAHAHAHA.
      Why the f are football skills even valued for admissions to universities in the US? What relation do they have to academic efforts?
      Nonsensical society of bloodthirsty monsters.

      Also, not sure how that is relevant to this ‘friend’ of yours supposedly being good.

      He saw all these old industries collapsing. Bought their old buildings and turned them into a data storage company. Started with microfilm storage up to digital management in the 00’s

      Not seeing anything that would paint him in a good light here.

      Never really asked for much back

      ‘This rich person never asked for much back when raking up massive profits’.

      because he made a living in an honest way

      You are contradicting yourself. You just said that he owned companies, but now you are saying that he made a living ‘in an honest way’.

      He was a stand up dude

      You are contradicting yourself again. You previously said that he owned companies and used other people’s labour for his own gain.

      Dude persevered through that traged

      Ah yes, the ‘tragedy’ of becoming slightly less rich.

        No. More like criminal elements trying to destroy your business because their boss was in federal court. It’s why I hate Italians that support heroin peddling mobsters. They destroyed all the fucking unions with their bullshit. They hollowed out the American voice of the worker. At the cost to their pocketing millions from union fees. If you ignore that part about America. You missed out what happened to the unions in America. Teamsters were transporting heroin for the mob.

          The entities most involved with union-busting are the extremely rich people like your friend and NATO states.

          They hollowed out the American voice of the worker

          I’m sorry, but this is extremely silly, especially considering that it is public knowledge that extremely rich people like your friend have always made union-busting efforts.

          If you ignore that part about America. You missed out what happened to the unions in America. Teamsters were transporting heroin for the mob

          HAHAHA.
          Not that I am a fan of your national chauvinist unions, but this accusation is extremely silly when extremely rich people like your friend have done stuff like use strike breakers.

            Bud they would murder people in the Mine Unions for speaking out of turn. They would leave them at the bottom of the mine and turn off the oxygen systems. To teach other people a lesson about speaking up.

            What do you know about criminal syndicates and the union leaders of the 70’s? Who do you think bought the unions? The five fucking families. Sure the courts fucked it up but the mob destroyed the movement.

              Hahaha.
              Citation needed.

              Not sure why you even decided to veer things into the union stuff, especially considering that unions are one of the few ways in which workers - like yourself, apparently, - can actually fight for their rights, and considering that the extremely rich people like your friend take effort to demonise and sabotage them.

                I love unions. I just witnessed what the mobs did to unions first hand. Literally one of the mob families where I’m from started a corporation and now makes Ammo for the DoD. Wonder how they got that contract.
