Also why would you want to support and enrich a company that hates you, that's called stupid where I come from.
One big advantage individuals have is the ability to support with their pocketbooks. I always try to support companies that support my values.
I'd like to disagree with you just on general principle, but I have to agree with this one. Serve who you want to serve and I will shop where I want to shop. easy peasy. And on that note, can we please allow car dealers in Utah to be open on Sunday?Quote:

That's dumb if it's true, BTW. Real dumb.
Yep. The way I always heard it from dealers I knew was that it wasn't always the case, but Larry Miller wanted to live his religion a little better and not open on Sunday, but couldn't stomach losing a sale or two, so helped usher a law that only allows dealers to be open 6 days a week. Technically, that doesn't have to be a Sunday, but in Utah that is the day that makes the most business sense to close.Quote:

Geez, car sales laws in Utah are almost as stupid and confusing as the liquor laws.
Is it a law or a gentlemen's agreement?Quote:

The reasoning was if everyone closed on Sunday no one gained and advantage. It was cheaper for the dealers as they only had to pay expenses and wages for 6 days a week and gave key dealer employees a guaranteed day off with the family. Pretty much a win/win as long as everyone joined the party.
Just looked and it's a law.... but... it was a law asked for and endorsed by the Utah Car Dealers for the reasons I mentioned above.
Apparently it was a gentlemen's agreement at one time but they couldn't control themselves and asked for it to become law.
Mmmm...daddy like dividend increases. I'll take those crumbs just fine, thank you.Quote:

Neil Gorsuch has been a HUGE Trump win the past few days as he has been the swing vote on several high profile issues....
I know a number of people that voted Trump for the simple reason that SCOTUS had an opening and they didn't want another liberal on the bench.

Purely for attention. It's just like the gay couple trying to get married in Kentucky a few years, remember? That clerk wouldn't do it, but others would, but they kept requesting to be served only by her so they would force her to do it and nobody else. Oh the things true love will make you do.Quote:

Same shit as the baker, they sought him out, passed up other bakers just to make a show out of it. And the drama queens bought it all hook line and sinker.

I agree with you on the baker but not the KY clerk. Private business and government jobs aren't the same. Gay marriage was the law of the land and her job required her to issue the license. Whatever the motives of the applicants didn't matter. If she didn't want to do it (or allow another in the office to) she should have just resigned. I believe you are incorrect in thinking that others in the office offered to grant the license. If I remember correctly she was the clerk and wouldn't allow anyone else to sign it.Quote:

Ginsburg will never retire with Trump on the throne, but with any luck her death will come soon as I hear they are about out of the aborted fetus blood they have been using to keep her alive the past couple of years.Quote:

Few people realize the power Trump has wielded with regard to judges and it's not just the Supreme Court. The guy is drastically changing our courts. Even the 10th circus is undergoing rehab.

This! I did not vote for the Trump in the primary but did in the general and largely because of how despicable Hillary was and the potential for the Supreme Court seat.The selection of Neil was a phenomenal pick and if he's able to put someone else on there that is even remotely of the caliber of Gorsuch then we are truly going to see a constitution protecting, conservative leaning court for the rest of my life. Like Shane said above I can only image what horrors we'd be facing right now if these two picks had been left/liberal judges.Quote:

The decision, in Janus vs. AFSCME, strikes down laws in California, New York and 20 other mostly Democratic-leaning states that authorize unions to negotiate contracts that require all employees to pay a so-called fair share fee to cover the cost of collective bargaining.
and as a gift from dingy harry----the senate will likely go nuclear, again on the next nomination.
WINNING
Without a doubt... and the Democrats are already in full meltdown.Quote:

There's no soft stepping with this dude. He just rocks.
I'm pretty sure we're finally going to get a Republican Governor. The Democrat opponent wants to double the state budget...no shit.

I think all the cities are just going to get thicker and thicker. I drove thru SLC a couple years ago and it was gonzo. It "felt" bigger than Denver.
Anyway, this Democrat Jared Polis hasn't got a chance. He may be locked in pretty good with the fairies up in Boulder, but it 'aint gonna fly otherwise. I normally don't bet on stuff like this, but I'd bet on this one.
I'll tell you what...if he somehow won it might be gettin' time for me to sell it all and book outta here.
That vid is disturbing. I thought it was supposed to be the republicans who were the gun loving wackos. The left has become the very thing they've always despised the right about.Quote:
