I don't like the Nike decision. I think they are acting just like Trump, willing to divide the country to satisfy a base. Kaep isn't a villain or a hero, just a (not particularly bright) guy who I thought had a pretty valid and respectful form of raising an issue. That could have been the end of it, but we have a toddler hypocrite wanna be dictator yelling out of ass because it pleases idiots and now we have a greedy exploitative corporation grabbing their slice of this moronic pie.

Skulnik cares about child labor laws? Wow. OK, let's work to change those!

Apple, Tesla, Facebook, Google and Twitter, all companies that get to play by different rules.

JMHO

You are very motivated! Excellent. Let's start with Nike and Apple because exploitative labor is a straightforward tangible issue with solid data. Glad to see you joining a progressive cause! :0074

Disagree. I was at Coca Cola when they brought out "new " Coke. Worst marketing ploy ever in the history of soft drinks. Marketing director claimed he was a genius because of all the free publicity. Stock and sales proved differently. So while I know you wrote a book and can copy and paste you tube videos with the best of them,I will say that an ole redneck from Alabama was right in the middle of a marketing 'ploy' that fails miserably. But,,Only time will tell.


You get any of that sweet Coca-Cola stock?

Can't listen to the other sides viewpoint? Hmmmm....can't say that we are all shocked. I mean, holding a conversation about anything is definitely above your comprehension level. Cool.

Yea, because I haven't heard the other side of the story ad nauseam over the past two years. Face it, you are all alone on this one, even your white knight Wineguy isn't coming to your rescue this time. Maybe, just maybe, reevaluate.

By the way, when you posting the punchline to that joke in the other thread?

I think all of you should look to our President for guidance

Thus Trump?s comments to the Daily Caller were arguably most notable for this remark:

?As much as I disagree with the Colin Kaepernick endorsement, in another way ? I mean, I wouldn?t have done it ? in another way, it is what this country is all about, that you have certain freedoms to do things that other people think you shouldn?t do, but I personally am on a different side of it.?


Referring to Nike?s longtime tenancy in a building he owns in Manhattan adjacent to Trump Tower ? the company left there in March for a nearby site not owned by Trump but reportedly still owes him rent for several more years ? the president told the Daily Caller, ?I think it?s a terrible message. Nike is a tenant of mine. They pay a lot of rent.?

Maybe if they used the same technology that is used on the F-35...

25 years and it was what my 401k had 100 percent of,,Didn't diversify,,probably could have done better but it is what it is.

long time in a tough bizz... good to read a good outcome .:0074

got a buddy who I worked along side in the stores[vendor chat] for 17 years who I saw in the Food Lion down the street...he has stayed with 28 years now..says 2 more and done....I don't know how he still stocks shelves.......he says reffing hoops keeps him limber..he is almost 60


our beer dist. pulled the 401k and down the road sold out...along the way found a way to fire or force out 6 upper management with over 150 years experience in the beer bizz....I should have gone to work for Coke or Pepsi or Bud if I was going to work for someone else 20 years.

lotta 60 hour work weeks but you been there done that in the soda world..

Is that your go to when you have no reply?


I'll lob you a softball here, what are your thoughts on the Westboro Baptist Church?

You don't have to like their message (I don't) and you can agree with Kaepernick's message (I do) and I can recognize each has a right to present their message, but I can disagree with how the message is presented, what say you?
