More on Citi’s ‘GIFT’
l3wis 
Some people wonder why the local news is so pathetic, and I say, just read the stories sometimes. I had a friend who worked as a producer for a major news TV station in SF for awhile. He hated the mediocrisy so much he quit. Not only was the news coverage awful, the on air personalities had little ‘attitudes’ like they were famous or something.
Just look at this line in the CITI story;
Citibank continues its generosity, donating $140,000 to help a crime-riddled neighborhood.Â
Christ! The heck with Citi giving our money back to us – we need Batman to clean up this neighborhood!
Some might question why Citibank is donating money when it’s dealing with its own financial struggles. Citibank is a part of the government’s multi-billion dollar bailout plan.
Because they are not donating THEIR MONEY! Why not donate (our) this money to The Food Bank or the Banquet, it would get better use. Besides, Citi will get the money back in interest when SF has to pay back the loan they gave us, so it’s all a wash.
