1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Exactly right. And they're rewarded for it with the dollars their competitors get through chicanery and crappy advertising.

Tough to get in as an employee because everyone and their grandmother wants in! lol. But once you're in, it's a great place to stay. From what my friends tell me. I've been trying for 3 years to get hired by them!

Boy, you gus sound well and truly "triggered"

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - I am TRULY triggered. The government camel is in my tent up to its hind quarters. Please explain to me the guiding philosophical position that justifies it being there. Fair warning, I will ask you to explain if I feel that same philosophy justifies some activity which the left traditional favors.

It is sad how stupid politician try to mandate these rules just to make me money when it could be as simple as getting their kid off the PlayStation an Xbox and doing some exercise. Also, some people are born obese and there's not much you can do about it. Some kids look like a liberal Michael Moore and they're born that way even if they walked 5 miles a day! Stupid politicians don't know better they just want to make excuses to take your money.
