I needed to read this ..... needed.
Things started to move pretty quickly once that fukkin whistle was blown :francis:
Makes me sick that the gov was ready to let this continue until it got out an folks took issue with it :scust:




I don't know if there are any legitimate legal actions that could be taken but Michael Moore is calling for the arrest of the Governor cause it's his hometown an I'm ridin with him :ehh:

Hahahahaha, I'm just telling you what homie said, I ain't tweet it
I think his thought process was probably more along the lines of "what black owned water brand could help Flint right now? Probably Sean Diddy Combs!" (Trying to use all his names in this one thread)
In reality, the problem is caused by the state so they need to fix it. Puffy Combs didn't do anything. Why should he, as a regular citizen of the US, fix a pretty big problem caused by politicians in a corrupt state, The fault is not on him or any superstar. The financial onus of rectifying the problem is not on him either.
Blame redirection is wrong. That's the stuff of ratchet hoes. Leave Puffy alone.

Not only do you come off uneducated but also selfish breh. For one, the state has already been granted millions and refuse to even fully acknowledge the scope of the problem. Secondly, just because Puffy isn't responsible doesn't mean he couldn't help, it's called philanthropy... Also I bet his company could figure out an amount of bottles to send that the net loss from giving away free product would be less than the net gain from the tax insentives.. Thus giving free water to flint, putting money in puffs pocket via tax and publicity, and the one paying for it END UP BEING THE GOVERNMENT ANYWAY Cause they paying for the tax break in the long run so fukk it

As an entertainer you recieve your money from these people. To turn your back on thrm and say nah b, this my money, yall nikkas need help call Snyder, is bullshyt.

On the same note, it's the people's fault for giving their money to people who don't give a fukk about them.

You are a complete moron. If he gets paid money from the state made from tax revenue, then it isn't philanthropy. Philanthropy means he gives the water away for free with zero compensation.

First off, there's no proof that all citizens of Flint, MI are fans of Puffy Combs and have bought all his albums and attended all his concerts. They might listen to his music for free via radio. Or download pirated copies. Flint, MI is loaded with low-income people. Pirated money is actually stealing. So now, you want Puffy Combs to give free water to people who have pirated his music.

Any time you give money like that you get write offs it's still philanthropy. Write offs aren't compensation, they're write offs. That's how big wigs move, on the technicalities.

I cannot reason with you because your brain is on another planet. A completely other planet.

You clearly don't understand the tax insentives behind giving shyt away. When people give shyt away the tax break can be even bigger than the costs of the lost goods.. A win win..

You can't even spell incentives.
Charitable contributions is an itemized deduction. That would decrease the adjusted gross income, but not to the extent where he's going to profit from contributing. The TAX BREAK WILL NOT BE BIGGER THAN THE COST OF THE LOST GOODS. Publication 535 (2014), Business Expenses

Companies like that donate to all different causes all the time to stay in certain tax brackets, what I'm saying is I don't see how it would be a bad thing if P Diddy sent some free water their way :pachaha:
You're overthinking it bro, I'm saying his company already donates X amount to other places that probably need it less like sports events, why not send it to flint?
