Hmmmm... I wonder if the CEO of Blackrock is Jewish. What does the Talmud say? How many genders?

I don’t.

When the times are troubled I will be a fish in an ocean of fish.

Just a harmless bland subject that presents no visible threat to anyone.

A few days ago, we (The Deplorable Family) were out and about at a home show. They had a Planet Fitness booth there, so we ignore them, but they asked us if we had gym membership, Mrs Deplorable told them that she did, but not now. They told us that it is a franchise and theirs don’t allow Trans in women’s locker room, but I said, “Sorry, but I don’t believe you. You need to tell corporate to change the policy.” We walked away.

I hadn't read the whole article (I now see that citation), but the author is egregiously incompetent for opening with this statement,

Founder and CEO Mike Grondahl...

The downside to what used to be called the suits in a corporate boardroom dictating an unpopular policy is that franchisees suffer, especially in conservative areas. They are bread and butter business owners who often sink their savings or owe financing debt at a bank to finance ownership. The Left tends to dominate large corporations, upscale urban neighborhoods and high end suburbs. They live in a MSM/ NPR bubble and regard poor and middle class whites about like Hillary Clinton and Obama did.

He’s failed to take decisive action. Therefore he supports the actions of his employees. Worse, he’s whining that people called him out and refuses to take responsibility. What a pathetic POS.

Apparently, you missed the part of the article that said, "Grondahl sold the company to private equity in November 2012 and lost control."

I didn't miss anything: I read the opening paragraph by the incompetent author:

Planet Fitness Inc. (NYSE:PLNT) Founder and CEO Mike Grondahl detailed a history of rampant abuse at the company and alleged it misrepresented its financials during a recent interview with controversial right-wing X user Libs of TikTok.
...but I did see that little detail you cite buried at yahoo...

It’s all good...except for the abject failure we all reference as “the media”.

Or just build a third locker room for the mentally ill.

...

Had this happen at the facility from whence I retired, all because ONE dude decided to have a genital change and mutilation surgery.

After the new bathroon was completed, it was called the “UNISEX” bathroom. One day the boss and I were talking in the hallway and I asked whether this was an incorrect term to use.

“So...anyone can use that bathroom?”

“yes, of course”

“I understand what a unicorn is- it has one horn. I understand what a unicycle is- it has one wheel. Shouldn’t the new bathroom be better called a polysexual, a pansexual, or an omnisexual bathroom?”

“[MY LAST NAME] don’t you have some work you should be doing?”

...we both laughed as we walked away.

He was as upset about the whole awkward matter as was the entire field ofice.

It was better days. There were a lot fewer of us by at least half and most of us were of the same culture. Our parents had survived the war and understood order and discipline for the most part. Those things are mostly gone now. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Sounds boring. My Trump window stickers just arrived. Going to replace my All Lives Matter sticker. We love our politics up here in Massachusetts 😂

If they insist on having this policy, they could retrofit their gyms with a “trans and nonbinary” changing area. Apparently they’d rather go broke.

you'll just be one of the first ones picked up or surveilled like we all our on the Freerepublic board.

This isn't going to be a game. Stay strapped if you start playing this game. I am harmless, fat, sick and old.

I have no formal training and am just here to stay informed and get opinions that aren't manipulated by the left. I'm pretty sure the men with the blue jackets and 3 letters are reading everything and seeing who has been naughty and who has been nice.

you should read history and other things to see what is happening and what can happen in our "republic".

Stay safe brother.
