[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 971274, member: 23516"] If you insist. Yeah, the largest employer in the city (by nearly a 2-to-1 ratio) has to pay 'protection' to the local yokels in the city government. Good one! I guess the local politicians would just loooooooove to put the hurt on the multinational multi-billion dollar corporation that is responsible for millions of dollars in local economic activity, and Fred is hedging his bets. In all seriousness, I hear your ridiculous argument even in my hometown. The largest employers have paid (in whole or in part) for various things at the local university including a football stadium, an arena, multiple scholarships and grants, some specialized programs and opportunities for top students in certain majors, and so on and so on. People like you come up with these goofy theories as to why they do that, when the reality is much more mundane. It's great advertisement, great PR, and --shocking, I know-- they like the university and want to be active participants in making it a better place. I don't know what planet you're from, but that's fairly common here on Earth. [/QUOTE]
