Two billionaires walk down the street. They spot a charity drive.
Billionaire A hands over a $50 note, then asks for change. He is planning to donate $20. A reporter captures this moment, and the next day the news is about how much of a cheapscate A is. A proceeds to spend $10000 in PR crisis management.
Billionaire B keeps his head down and pretends he didn't see the charity. Nobody bothers him.
Total donations to charity:
A:20
B:0
Also the reporter gets a payrise.
- yazan94 7y agoAnyone can make up a story. But what was the point of this one?
- downerending 7y agoThat no good deed goes unpunished. And that people rarely miss the opportunity to criticize others.
- yazan94 7y agoThis was quite literally a story made up on the spot to broadcast the OP's view. There are generally no useful lessons learned from fake anecdotes
