Companies caving to lib whiners

Figure it's better to resurrect this one than start a new one, but apparently Sam Adams is now diving into the political arena by naming a beer for RBG.

Salty, flat, and tastes like shoe leather. No Born On Date listed but expires soon.

I feel like there are enough things to be out raged about, yet some people seem to go out of their way to find something new. Got to get those clicks I guess.

Dick's Sporting Goods pulls assault-style rifles from stores

Dick?s Sporting Goods? bottom line took a very big hit after halting the sale of assault-style weapons in response to the Parkland school massacre.

The policy change cost the nation?s largest sporting goods retailer about $150 million in lost sales, about 1.7 percent of annual revenue, Bloomberg News reported Friday.

But boss Ed Stack isn?t complaining.

?The system does not work,? Stack said, according to the news outlet. ?It?s important that when you know there?s something that?s not working, and it?s to the detriment of the public, you have to stand up.?

Hope the Board claws back every bonus paid to Stack for the past decade to offset their losses.

I found this refreshing...
JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon grilled on guns in Congress, defends bank policy

JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon came under intense questioning on Wednesday over the bank's relationships with gunmakers, and was asked if he’d consider implementing a formal policy limiting that business — as some of his peers have.

During a House Financial Services Committee hearing with 7 of the most prominent U.S. bank CEOs on Wednesday, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) publicly thanked Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC) for "[stepping] up to the plate" by adopting formal policies limiting business with certain gun industry clients following the Parkland school shooting.

However, Maloney’s tone shifted when she directed her questions to Dimon. The congresswoman referenced Dimon's widely read annual letter released last week in which he wrote about JPMorgan having to sometimes turn down clients “with low character” as a way to be a “responsible” bank.

Maloney used excerpts of the letter to grill Dimon, saying that "actions speak louder than words on guns...[and] from what I can tell, these are just words to you."

When pressed on the idea of the bank adopting a formal policy like Citigroup and Bank of America with the gun industry, Dimon said they "can certainly consider that.”

Gun manufacturers have come under withering public scrutiny and legal challenges amid a spate of mass shootings in the U.S.

Yet Dimon said on Wednesday that "everything we do with clients goes through a severe process of review, repetitional risk, etc. We have very small relationships with gun manufacturers.”

Defending the industry, Dimon stated that “they are the same gun manufacturers that make military equipment for the United States military and for the United States police force, which we hold in the highest regards."

He added not only does the firm conduct a thorough review of retailers selling firearms, but the ATF also audits these businesses and they are regulated by the state and federal government.

"If we think they are doing something wrong, our risk committee stops doing business with them," Dimon said.

I remember when news of that first came out and people were pissed. I even have a friend who doesn't have Netflix and this was one of the reasons he cited for it. I can't imagine why anyone would care. Media producers are plenty capable of producing content people don't like or agree with, without having been a past politician.

My first pair of Mizunos arrived this week after my Nikes wore out. Had one run in them and after getting comfortable in them, I think they are superior to the Nikes I've been buying since age 13. I'm patient and not picky on color, so I saved a bit over a pair of Nike running shoes, but otherwise prices are comparable.

Sizing matched exactly for me. They are slightly heavier but give a lot more support.

Wife will follow suit when her Nike running shoes wear out now that I checked them out.

Oldest kiddo has been wanting Adidas for school. I guess this is the cool thing now?

We probably bought six-ish pairs of Nikes a year in this house. Now we are down to 0.
