Or the container store. Why do people just accept that evil is the only way we can do things? You don't have to destroy the earth and destroy people to turn a profit.

"Destroy the earth...evil.."

Do you wear fur, do you eat meat? Drink milk? Use electronics?
You then are complicit in destroying the earth via factory-farming and slaughterhouses, and help exploit people for cheap electronics. (You wanting to drive a Tesla is virtue-signaling at best. Lol)

Sure do but I'm also vested as well as run other interests on the side. What does that have to do with what I said though?

Well I feel that if you stopped making a profit for your company, you would understand why they would get rid of you. By the same token I think your clients would also do the same to you if you stopped performing for their portfolio of Bitcoin and stocks, etc.
Would you not do the same if you ran a company?

Well that's the thing its not about making a profit its about how much profit. They reduce labor in order to get the most profit possible not just a profit period. So its the difference between a 100 dollar return verses150. Ill gladly take 75 dollars profit if it means thousands aren't left without a job. Its rarely ever zero sum. I also wouldn't use my already considerable fortune to lobby and get more money I don't need at the expense of others. Its gross.

I eat locally farmed food. Most of my electronics are used or refurbished because I ain't dumb enough to 1k for a phone that's only 3 mbs better than my current phone. But I get where you're going. I just don't demand people be perfect in all other areas before addressing a particular problem. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Well, maybe that's why they closed 63 Sams Clubs..maybe Costco is out-performing them.

Maybe, but I'm not talking about profit margin. Costco is known to be a great company that compensates and treat their employees well, unlike Walmart. I'm a longtime Costco member, and I'm happy to shop there for the bargains as well as knowing they treat their employees well. That's why they don't have high turnover (which also impacts the bottom line) like Walmart and many other retail outfits.

Agreed! It's nothing but greed.

I know of an employer in this area who had two occasions in which they made employee-friendly decisions to get through a fiscal crisis. One year they didn't give cost of living increases to avoid having to layoff some of their staff. Another time they withheld annual increases to senior management so that they could still give increases to staff.

A vote for Oprah would be a vote for Black Matriarchal Tyranny. Oprah led the charge slandering black men in the 90s, there's a "shortage," we're all on the downlow, etc. School for black girls in South Africa, okay it's her money. But who will those girls marry? Oops no school for black boys, sorry. Now she'd possibly want my vote? Nope nope and nope. And of course its the factor of the black man is the first African-American POTUS so here come sistas not to be outdone instead of staying in their lane.

Hillary waited 8 years after her husband to run the first time, 16 years the second. But here come black chicks Obama not even cold

No thanks

Oprah also helped bring Dr Oz and Dr Phil to the limelight -- "helped" might not even be the right word, those men wouldn't have their shows if it weren't for her -- and both, in my opinion, are cranks. She also helped prop up Jenny McCarthy's Anti-Vaccine crusade, which as a nurse let me tell you drives me absolutely crazy because real children die without vaccines.

She's sort of a feel-good heart-warming person who insists on feel-good heart-warminess even when it's not appropriate. Works as a television personality, not so great as a purveyor of science (or, potentially, politics).
 
'Amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants is the “civil rights issue of our time,” declared Sen. Dick Durbin, just before he voted January 22 to end the 2018 budget filibuster.

How nice, Dems.

Full quote:

"So many of you cast a vote that was very hard and very difficult because you believed — as I did — that the issue of immigration, the issue of dreamers, is the civil rights issue of our time. You stuck your necks out and said ‘I’m willing to go on record even if it is going to be hard to explain back home,’ but I will never forget that."

Lol @andreboba ...You're right, Trump was wrong about the plight of the Black Americans who are held hostage in neigborhoods they can't get a break from. Everything is just fine.
The more pressing and real issue is DACA and illegals. Who knew, lol.

  • Many Democrats are furious with members of their party for agreeing to a deal with Republican senators to reopen the government.
  • These Democrats don't think Republicans will fulfill their promise to vote on legislation to codify the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration program, set to expire on March 5.
  • "Democrats are still not willing to go to the mat to allow (illegal) people in my community to live in our country legally," Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez said Monday. :eek:

So Trump had ordered for Mueller to be fired back in June but McGahn was able to talk him out of it. After he had said Mueller is the best man on the face of the earth for the task.

Nope: Perhaps you (and AB) did not understand my question. I don't want your 3rd hand news link who merely cited the NYT's...give me the name of your actual source who personally said Trump said this.
Thanks.

LOL. Are you kidding??
Neither of us wrote the story. The sources are from inside Trump's WH counsel and prefer to remain anonymous.

How do you read any news piece if you personally require every story to be sourced for you??
Reporters lose their jobs at publications at Der Spiegel and the NYT for not properly sourcing their stories.

For the record, Sean Hannity basically confirmed the same story last night.

Trump fired Comey, why do you think it's impossible he wanted Mueller fired too??
