84 Lumber has released what will probably be the most controversial ad of the Super Bowl
Business Insider ^ | Feb. 3, 2017 | Lara O'Reilly

Construction company 84 Lumber seems to be deliberately looking to provoke controversy with its Super Bowl ad, which depicts a Mexican mother and daughter embarking on an arduous journey, apparently to leave their country of origin.

A family member is a management analyst and he told me up the food chain there is a gender/wage gap. He told me the number one reason is in interviews when asked what they expect for salary women will toss out a number in the low range customary for the job and men will toss out a number higher than customary range. Women are afraid if they use a large number they won’t get hired, while men don’t as a rule have that fear. That is interview technique, not sexism. If women want do get paid more they need to find out what they can do different instead of assuming it is gender discrimination.

The other issue our relative sees is women that made a choice to leave their careers or really scale back on travel, working hours- but feel they should be paid the same as other women and men that stayed on the career path. Again that is not a sexist issue.

THe Owner of 84 Lumber, a former Party girl, inherited the company from her father (sound familiar). She has approx 96% control. A boycott would really hit her.


Ah, so she doesn’t even understand the hackles this ad raised.

“Just saw the commercial. Message loud and clear. There are no laws. Go down to 84 Lumber and steal what you need. Take it all lumber, building materials, tools, 84 Lumber is fine with it.”

This is post of the day ! I thought I had post of the day with “Lady GaGa dove off the roof of the stadium? That took balls.” but this beats that.

The old man, Joe Hardy has been married four times. Number three was 23 years old. He was 84. Lots of political connections in western PA. He made his own fortune, I give him that.

Sounds like your typical Rat Party piece of excrement.Are you sure that the 23 year old wasn't a dude?

Feminist hogwash about the gender wage gap. Whats the matter with these idiot companies? Pathetic.


Yea that always pisses me off... I went to computer tech school in 1980. I had two close female friends in school with me...

I got out on time with a 93% grade average..they got out a few months late with a grade average somewhere in 70%

I got a $6.50 an hour bench tech job at Raytheon (in part because I’m an amputee i had few job offers).. they both got $15.00 and hour field service jobs with Data General. Affirmative action for women in tech was in Vogue

In 84 at Raytheon there was a field service position open..myself and my best buddy at work (who is black) both applied for it.. and the Company still went outside and hired a women for it

Funny that both my women friends dropped out of the business after 10 years ...

While I stayed in and worked my way up to six figure a year engineer

Mrs. imi and I had a great evening during Superbowl time - we watched. Enough with the PC ads and the dumba$$ pampered, overpaid low IQ kneelers during the national anthem.

First on my list tomorrow - a visit to our local Ochente Quatro Lumber to tell them to f**k off.

84 Lumber never has cared about borders and fences. Back in the 60’s they used to pollute the local rural landscape by nailing these small metal white and red 84 Lumber signs to trees all along the back roads. They did not ask for permission from the farmers and landowners, either. My dad used to get so pissed about it he would drive around and tear them down, then toss them in the local dump.

Just saw this lie on the 84 lumber fb wall. 84 Lumber Company

Hi Ken, We do not condone illegal immigration. The journey of the mother and daughter symbolizes grit, dedication, and sacrifice. Characteristics that we look for in our people at 84 Lumber. President Trump has previously said there should be a “big beautiful door in the wall so that people can come into this country legally.” We couldn’t agree more.
