Jesus.

You stated earlier that WM is a liberal company and I agree with you there (although that may have been your sarcasm).

I agree that the flags are being removed as a PC statement BUT ONLY because they can afford to. I contend they would never do it if it impacted their bottom line to a significant percentage.

I just wanted to be clear that I am giving you partial credit.

Don't you have a company to dismember while prepping your golden parachute, Mr. Expert?

Yes. That's actually what business people do.

To make money.

There is no agenda except increasing my net worth. Full point.

But you guys are right, we are all in the board room trying to push liberal bullshit.

As far as I am concerned, its a freedom of speech issue. Retailers are free to not carry these things, but the manufacture and trade in these things cannot be legislated against.

I think it is interesting that in the wake of this heinous crime, where 9 people were murdered, that the anger is being directed at a flag. The liberal left must hate that flag, to disrespect the tragic loss and memory of these people, just to get it taken down...

Ok, Sanchez.


Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Walmart alone is not running their business with a liberal bent.

Are there no other companies running their businesses with a liberal bent?

And by the same token are there no other companies running their businesses with a conservative bent?

It's all strictly business and any left/right tendencies are purely coincidental? Is that what you're saying?

I was being sarcastic. WM is cut throat and profit driven.

Everything they do from dicking down suppliers, to making changes to their trucking fleet to reduce CO2 emissions (less has use means millions of dollars in profit) is down in the name of EPS.

Reducing CO2 plays well with a group of people.

In actuality, it saved them millions in fuel costs and that is what drove the change. If strip mining Yosemite made fiscal sense to the board at WM they would find a way to do it.


Or, they are pushing a liberal agenda to gain PC, what ever the **** that means.

Yeah, it's probably the second thing. Getting PC.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.



Apex has broken the code.

Do you think board members are not very aware of political shifts? You don't think businesses revisited their budgets and plans when Obama was elected?

Of course they did.

If they were not influenced by the change in tide, they would have no reason to make any changes.

What made a smart decision before November, a bad decision after November if not for the associated politics?

Yes, board members push an agenda.

Two words - Entertainment Industry. Loads of board rooms pushing an agenda.
