These thoughts and prayers types are too much of lackwits to understand the meaning of your statement. They are the wolves in sheep's clothing.

If you are so concerned, join a search party and do something. 1 pair of hands working will accomplish more than any number of hands praying.
P.S. his name is Brandon, if you are going to virtue signal on someone's missing person post, at least spell their fucking name right.

>Many of us believe that there is a serial killer targeting white young men that always dumps them in the river when he’s done with them.
Many of you erroneously believe without any sort of substantial, concrete evidence.
>Pittsburgh has been purchasing new body recovery equipment for the rivers and there was that team of divers looking for bodies recently.
You are making connections with information that supports your preconceived biases, not making any attempt to be impartial and seek the truth.
>I don’t suggest googling smiley face killer necessarily but instead googling “Pittsburgh man pulled from River” and seeing the insane amount of bodies that are relatively quietly fished out.
Death by misadventure, suicide and non-serial murder all exist as well, have some respect for the lives that were lost and quit spreading crackpot theories that have no basis in logic and reality.

Reply to comment by Excelius in Gainey is set to unveil plans to challenge the tax-exempt status of more than a dozen properties in the city, including UPMC and a Propel School on the North Side by sugarandspice85
I'm just a simple country chicken, but I don't understand why "non-profit" company leaders can make 7 figures and not pay taxes, but I gotta shell out thousands every year just to have a cheap house. Isn't housing non-profit? Isn't housing "unrealized gains" as they say? BAAAAAAAAAAAWK.
Ooops, for a second there, I thought you was corn.

> UPMC has explicitly threatened to bankrupt the city with legal fees if their tax exempt status is revoked entirely.
This statement alone should disqualify them from tax exempt status. "We're going to be spiteful if we are forced to contribute to the city which we profit entirely too much."
I'm so tired of this shit man.

Do you work as a lunch lady in a school cafeteria, or are you just a lady that likes lunch?

So what it seems like for propel is that propel set up a shell non-profit to own the parcel that their northside school is on and then they rent it to Propel school. You can't do this -- Propel itself could own the parcel and not pay taxes on it, but a separate company that owns the property is making rent on it, and that's taxable.

You're conflating tax emptions for properties vs. institutions. this is going over tax exempt parcels that they're saying shouldn't be. and I looked at the list and there are only 6 upmc parcels on it. It won't be worth their while (upmc) most likely to drag this out in court beacuse I'm also sure that Gainey made sure that the parcels they picked were very egregious examples.

Non profit status isn't a binary. The institution can be a non profit but have divisions or properties that are not ..and those can be taxed. UPMC has a number of for profit divisions including the health plan.

Yeah, in my friend’s case we actually covered the basic services with a Gofundme, but his friends and family ended up paying thousands more for stuff like that. I hope Alex’s family at least doesn’t have to think about anything in that realm, this is so horrible and tragic.

Most of these aren't UPMC properties

Good point about the family - if you have half extended family several states away- it’d be great to cover their costs and lodging

EDIT: No, it turns out I was actually mistaken. I went to Elizabeth Forward High School
A fellow classmate informed me I was wrong. But at EFHS there was a Brandon Davis in our graduating class
I genuinely thought this fellow was him. I guess there is a doppelganger afoot. I mean to my eyes they could be brothers!
I still hope this Brandon turns out okay

Death costs a lot. My friend recently died and aside from the cremation and funeral, his shitty landlord wanted rent from his family, there’s moving and storage for their stuff, transportation for loved ones to the funeral, etc. It’s better for them to be prepared for all of it and not have to worry at all about money.
I’d imagine whatever isn’t used will be donated in his name.
