Ran into a Trump supporter at Home Depot.
= new reply since forum marked as read
isn't he worried about the two-wheel cart becoming dependent on the four-wheel socialist cart?....
Uh, yeah.
His explanation makes perfect sense to me. I probably would have done the same thing if I was trying to maneuver through checkout and out through the parking lot.
Hard to see the small sections of metal pipe resting in the child's seat area of the cart, but they're certainly there.
I have boycotted that big-box store ever since they made it clear that they will continue to discriminate against LGBT employers/applicants.
Then last year, after the stupid tax cut went into effect, the co-founder openly attacked Democratic law-makers. From Newsweek on 1/29/18:
In the weeks after President Donald Trump signed the sweeping tax bill, Republicans have rushed to declare it a victory for middle-class workers who received bonuses, while Democrats scoffed at the returns as insignificant. Marcus, whose employees received up to $1,000 in one-time bonuses, criticized Democrats for not understanding that business owners will need time to improve the economy.
"They are going to do smart things. They are going to make smart moves, and that will take a period of time, just like the small businesses. This is not going to turn overnight. Corporations are not going to open 14 buildings overnight," Marcus said on Fox News. "Come on, give me a break, you've got to use your brains. I mean, Democrats, use your stupid brains. You have any stupid brains and don't understand what happens."
Trickle-down economics! Yeah, we've seen how that's been working for us, haven't we?
Rather than line his pockets -- he's retired, but still is heavily invested in their stocks -- I'd much rather spend my hard-earned money at a locally-owned hardware store. That store's prices are fair and competitive, plants in their nursery are healthy and productive, and I don't have to walk a half-mile to get from the parking spot to the front door (although the exercise would do me a world of good). Where I don't have to search for an employee -- or, more and more likely, have someone paged -- to help me find something, answer questions or give recommendations. A couple months ago, I was looking for a specific item and the local store staffer said they didn't carry it, but I might try shopping at Home Despot. That didn't happen.
And hasn't had a chance to find a youtube vid telling him how to use it yet.
Who reads owners manuals anymore?
