When you base history on movies and TV shows you get that kind of attitude.

You need to know that I have read a lot of books and studied history long before watching TV documentaries. Feel silly now?

“We are fro the rule of law. Did they break any?”

We’re also for morals aren’t we? Doesn’t basic decency matter?

He didn’t steal anything. He bought stock.

Cabelas is a retail store. On a downward slide they merged with Bass and Bass did a reorg which means some locations and offices closed.

Nothing nefarious here.

You may as well blame Bass for the reorg, or blame the owners for going public, which would’ve netted them quite a bit of cash. Are you upset over their “greed”? And how many tears would you shed if the entire enterprise fell apart and Singer lost his investment? In that case all stores would be closed.

When companies go down, some are going to get hurt and some won’t. That’s life.

As I understand it, the owner was in place when they merged with Bass. That was encouraged by singer.

The company was in trouble and singer demanded a sale. What would you do in that case? You can’t make retail sales appear by magic. When in trouble you can basically reorg, sell, or close down.

Either option leads to some locations and offices closing. That’s the breaks.

Singer would not have been able to make any demand if he did not have that public stock. That’s the point you’re ignoring.

No, not at all. Reread your post. Perhaps you should’ve mentioned more than what Hollywood churns out in your original post.

I'm glad President Trump cares about Americans and doesn't share your attitude.

Grow up. Sometimes bad things happen in life.

I guess you believe if we drop the free market and go communist, there will be no sad stories.

Interesting you mention Trump. You think “Free market bad”.

Free Market...

Do you really think we have a true free market?
Do you think a true free market is a good thing?

Yeah, you're one of them, you commie lover. I happen to like what President Trump is doing in protecting Americans and American jobs and companies. You keep on liking your Chinese crap.

Not entirely free market thanks to devolving to communism. And yes more free market is better.

Your a child and don’t even have good reading comprehension. Give up on the sight words and relearn to read phonetically. That’s why we have an alphabet.

Listen sonny boy, I’ve been around a lot longer than you and you need to grow up. Your rudeness is typical of millennials.

Typical of millennials: "Your" instead of "You're" or "You are". Go back to school and pay attention this time, your grasp of English is terrible.

Ha Ha, you got me there.

I can correct my typos.

You can’t correct your stupidity though.

I didn't get you there, you got yourself there with your poor grasp of grammar. In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, "stupid is as...". Bye.
