stevenash Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 the stock was down 8% this morning after the company announced declining earnings for the 6th consecutive quarter. Newtobie, if my memory is correct, it was you who didn't think there would be any reprecussions from their bathroom decision. Do you still believe that?

When you do UN-American things you usually get spanked for it. And rightfully so!!

Hagar Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 That successful companies are so stupid as to actively involve themselves in politics is a mystery to me. Give money, but don't publicly come out and alienate half of your potential customers. But alas, such is the stupidity, and the false sense of superiority, of the Left.

stevenash Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Who said anything about surviving.? They are simply earning less than expected and/or versus what they used to earn ( in constant dollars) If my memory is correct, isn't it true that in a free society, if one does not like the wages or benefits offered by an employer, he can simply leave for greener pastures? Or are you one of those who believes an employer "owes" an employee anything he or she ( or, nowadays, it) thinks they "deserve"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenash Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Corporations do a good job of running their operations and do not need the input of those that know nothing, zero, nada, zilch about how to operate a business and insure its longevity. The markets determine what corporate executives earn just as it determines what LeBron James and Tom Brady earn. Once again, there is a lot more intelligence in the collective wisdom of the markets than there is in Bernie Sanders, Ellizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton or someone on a message board.
