Bernie Marcus > Dick Van Dyke
He was a great philanthropist, and as far as I know didn’t fund stupid garbage like Ted Turner pledging a billion dollars to the United Nations. Bernie supported Israel.

RIP, Mr. Marcus.
The box hardware stores like Home Depot brought a massive wave of negative forces with them.
Home Depot introduced inferior materials and required manufacturers (Moen, American Standard, etc) to create new inferior lines than what had existed before, it was the end of the knowledgeable local hardware store and the start of everyone knowing how to do everything and doing it poorly, and of course the sudden need for illegals so strong that the Home Depot literally became their hiring center, the new America where quality no longer mattered eventually ended the need to field skilled craftsmen as the “DIY” standard became good enough for everyone and unskilled Mexicans were oddly accepted as experts in everything related to the home although they knew nothing but were willing to say they did.

He didn’t let the old man in........
We must think 100
I hate the crap hole Home Depot near me in Florida. I’ve been to it 3 times in the last 10 years. One side of the parking lot is lined with trees that all have bikes padlocked to them that belong to “migrants” who get picked up for day labor, but that’s not why I hate the store.
Basically the store manager said ‘whatever’ when I confronted him about an employee ignoring me while she was chatting on her phone. And the jerk manager made me wait 20 minutes before he showed up.
