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?

Also Starbucks is taking a beating.  When you do UN-American things you usually get spanked for it.  And rightfully so!!

Do you believe that it maybe possible to just have a loss

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.

Looks like target may survive after all, and without screwing their employees out of benefits like wal mart

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"?

Corporations do a good job of offering huge payouts to their execs. Most of them deserve this and its their money

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.

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm  
    • What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
