I saw that RB. I was just being wise.

I have no problem with people doing well in the market in years past. But Wall St worship is a cancer today and a strong, successful Wall St does nothing healthy for our Country now.

Fun fact.

Kraft no longer makes gelatin. They still package and for Jello (or they contract that out), but they stopped making it all in house this year.

Even though there was a slight pause in earnings in 2008-2009, our family has experienced 18 years of tremendous growth, both my wife and myself.

Sounds like you're in the guns or ammo business. I know a lot of your best customers. LOL!

“Lots of concern right now.”

They’ll be OK. They just have to “re-train” and acquire a new “skill set” for today’s competitive market.

In other words, pretend they are from India.

A few are talking of emigrating. Not sure where.

I merged Heinz with Kraft long ago, when I mixed ketchup with mac & cheese :)

Shhh...don’t tell anyone but I was born and did some of my growing up in the Chicago area. My dad and the rest of us would use ketchup on our hot dogs! And we still do!!

Barbarians. My dad grew up in Chicago and would have disowned any of us kids if we dared to put ketchup on a hot dog?

I thought is was about someone accidentally pouring ketchup on the mac-and-cheese over at the Golden Corral.

Years ago when my wife was preggers she would make an afternoon snack of a Kraft mac & cheese dinner and smother it with ketchup. Eat the whole thing.
I swore my kid's first words were going to be Mama mia.

“A few are talking of emigrating. Not sure where.”

Hate to say it, but that is a smart idea. I think about it all the time but the whole world is getting crazy and I see nowhere safe anymore.

Close to half of our Country wants the US to become a Multi Cultural, Diverse (lack of Euro Christina Whites), Socialistic/Communist Paradise.

All the voting in the world can’t stop math. And math is against a decent, civil, Christian Society today.

Liberal Buffett?

I thought the dim mantra was a business is developed to employ people and pay taxes.

Not too bad, but a little too much ketchup, and it overpowers the whole combination, so you have to use it sparingly.
