I always thought advertising was about ATTRACTING as many customers as possible to buy your product or service. When did the mindset of eliminating customers become a valid business model? We should all do our part and make their plan come into fruition.

Sad to say, but the best ad of the night was the Skittles spot in the first quarter. Otherwise:

I liked the KIA commercial. The Eco-Warrior constantly getting thumped. Hitting that ice ledge was painful. I don't know if it was intentional, but they really mocked the tree-huggers as being idiots.

“Never heard of “84 Lumber” before. But if it’s a clone of Home Depot...or even just resembling Home Depot...their support for wetbacks is understandable.The fact that wetbacks hang around Home Depots looking for illegal work must help that company.And if it helps them it’s easy to see why “84 Lumber” would think that it would help them as well.3

We have 3 Home Depots within 10 miles or a couple of miles from us. We go to all because of how they seem to have better people like in the painting dept in one and better plants in the local one.
C
About two+ years ago all three stores had the illegals banned from their parking lots. Those stores have hired security guards to make sure they are off their parking lots. Also, they have signs stating they have a preferred contractors list, and they are not in their parking lot.

Also, Home Depot gives veterans a 10% off the price of any item before the taxe. My Cal Driver’s license show that I’m a veteran, and my wife carries a copy of my discharge. That way she can get the discount. Apparently, that 10% applies to some items on sale.

WHY THEY GET PAID THE BIG BUCKS

At the 84 Lumber Board Of Directors Meeting:

"We have $10 million dollars to spend on a 90 second Super Bowl commercial."

"Should we use it to explain who we are and why people should buy our products?"

"Or should we use it to air a pro-illegal alien lecture and piss off half of our potential customers?"

The yard we had in Memphis did. 84 Lumber is no longer at that location.

I always thought advertising was about ATTRACTING as many customers as possible to buy your product or service. When did the mindset of eliminating customers become a valid business model? We should all do our part and make their plan come into fruition.

Excellent summary. POing over 62 million Trump voters should be a no go for any company with half of a brain. However, so many anti America/American businesses have and will find out the hard way, not to PO us.

It is time for the 62.9 million Americans, who voted for Donald Trump to use their considerable economic power.

If most of those voters decided to boycott 84 Lumber, Nordstrom, Follywood or whom ever, we would have a huge impact.

Do we want to be insulted or ever need anything from/by: Nordstrom’s, Follywood Liberals, or any of the these Never Trumpster losers like Kelloggs, the NFL, ESPN, Macy’s, ”The Cast of the Hamilton/Broadway liberals, the ABCNNBCBS, New York Slimes, Compost, Starbucks, Alec Baldwin/SNL,, Penzey’s Spices-owner Bill Penzey, MGYN Kelly, Garrison Keillor, The Washington ComPost Not News Service, Michael Shannon/ “Nocturnal Animals” the BushCo thugs, Compost, Grub Hub, Pepsi-Co, Hollywood, the lying pollsters, faux phoney news, all the left wing mediots/fish wraps, and other Never Trumpsters, listed below in our lives like Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James/?

1. Follywood
2. Pollsters, Faux and ABCNNBCBS, phoney news, all left wing mediots/fish wraps.
3. GOPe radio talk show hosts posing as conservatives.
4. Overpaid NFL jerks, NFL games, pre games, post games and NFL endless prattle.
5. Ny Slimes, Compost, LA Slimes or any liberal fish wrap.
6. Vile left wing Follywood/Hollywood anti America jerks.
7. GrubHub
8. Macy’s*
9. Starbucks
10. Lifeway Foods
11. George Soros
12. NPR
13. Pepsi Co**
14. Mark Cuban and Dallas Mavericks + Milwaukee Bucks + Memphis Grizzlies
15. PacketSled and Critical Assets//CEO Matt Harrigan who promised to Kill Trump in the White House. Tech company CEO (PacketSled Harrigan) fired after threatening to kill Trump
WDBO ^ | 11-15-2016 | Joe Kelly
16. Coke Cola***
17. Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James, Nike sneakers.
18. Bush Co Thugs including all the Bushes and their thugs.
19. Michael Shannon/ and his new movie “Nocturnal Animals”
20. Penzey’s Spices owner Bill Penzey called us racists in his newsletter.
21. Hamilton, the play & its rude liberal cast & Broadway.
22, Alec Baldwin/SNL.
23. Disgraced former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather
24. Kelloggs
25. Uber
26. Nordstrom
27. 84 Lumber
28._______________ fill in the blank.

Eliminate any contact, time, business/financial dealings with the above for a happier and better life.
