It's not the city it's the state. It's a nice location but there's issues with it. Primarily the lack of an ability to add revenue around it. It really is limited terms of generating revenue. Nobody is predicting a new stadium but who knows. Who was predicting Allen getting $10 billion dollars after being the white knight and buying it for $194 mil

Yeah making desperate people and animals happy and giving them hope doesn't sound like a job to me. To me it would be an incredible blessing.

And of course in my spare time I would be traveling around the world with my harem of hotties partying my ass off. Win Win! ha
That's what I am saying. Having a billion dollars would be an obligation to do something worthwhile with it. I'm at that point in life where I'd be busy trying to figure out how to give it away. I've got a three year old now. That's the life I'm focused on developing. Honestly I don't see a billion dollars being helpful with it. A million dollars would, a billion not so much. I'd like more money to ensure his education but I really wouldn't want to just leave him a billion dollars.

And I have been around the world. I really don't have much interest in going into the city these days let alone going around the world again. It does strike me as a bunch of hassle. Of course this is a function of getting old.

Speaking of, you have to be too young to remember the television show "The Millionaire". Jeez, it was 55-60. It's what it was about. Mysterious wealthy guy gives a million dollars to an unsuspecting beneficiary. It was like Mission Impossible. Each episode starting with his agent delivering this fortune to some unsuspecting person. The stories were how it impacted their lives good or bad. It was a popular show.
Here is that show you referenced Donn
