Quote from CarMax co-founder Austin Ligon: “We benefited from an effective national transportation infrastructure that let us move products from one market to another, and we had cooperation and assistance from federal, state, and local governments in providing clear rules of the road that let us plan and grow our business.”

Quote from Jeff Sinegal, former CEO and co-founder of Costco: “We benefited from an effective national transportation infrastructure that let us move products from one market to another, and we had cooperation and assistance from federal, state, and local governments in providing clear rules of the road that let us plan and grow our business.”

Interesting how by coincidence they happened to write the exact same paragraph, word for word. /s/

They didn’t write that...someone else made that happen. Like someone from the WH and their lame talking points. How messed up is that? I’m glad Sinegal is no longer associated with Costco, because I love that place. It would be difficult, but I would boycott Costco. CarMax? Never been, never will.

Ok, I goofed on the quotes. Here’s what Sinegal said:

“Thanks to a strong nationwide transportation system and infrastructure, we’ve opened warehouses across the country and around the world.”

So, not word for word (I copied incorrectly, but close enough, right? Like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?)

Still looks like talking points to me.
