Koko78 Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 14 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: It really was, since you are claiming there is a limit on the need for charitable contributions--which of course makes no sense. It's always "needed". I never claimed there is a limit. I just said the whiners aren't considering that they may have donated what was necessary to carry out the function of the charity. If the charity needs $1.2 million to get through the current crisis, donating $50 million, just because, makes little sense. Nothing prevents them from cutting another check later, if more money is needed. 2

In this specific case, there is no end in sight to the need--it will be without limit.

But yeah, you'd think owners would be able to donate more. I get this, but they need to be taking care of the employees. My company has 10,000-plus employees, most of whom work on a strictly commission basis. If the company isn't bringing in money, we're not getting paid. But the owner/CEO/chairman of the company is vowed that not only will we not let go one single employee, they are paying EVERYONE their (almost) normal pay. All ten thousand employees. Hourly people get their full pay, commission employees will get 80% of their normal pay, regardless of if we work a single hour, and regardless of how slow our business is. THIS is how an employer should treat people. 1 1

If you’re just citing another good landlord, good for him! If you’re trying to make a point. You didn’t. In your situation the other landlord gave no pass on rent to his tenants and told them they might have a place to live when this passes. Then gave a ton of money to the guys across the street for relief. But it’s a donation so he’ll get some of that back.

My point is, my employer is guaranteeing pay for 10,000 employees and is worth 20 % (about a billion) of what the Pegulas are worth. Hard to determine the total number of employees the Pegulas employ, given that they have so many different businesses, but it isn't 10,000... and again, they are worth $5 billion. 2
