Sign me "Another Deplorable".

And probably get free shipping to boot.

Exactly.

Apparently you're not buying enough goodies. The bottom looks a lot closer then the top; and you won't find my deplorable bottom in there.

In some ways CW is following in the path of Sears and many other brick and mortar locations. Their catalogs and advertising gets word of particular products out to a lot of folks, who are then free to use the new information to purchase those items in whatever manner they wish, full retail, or at a discount from an online source.
At least the advertising materials gives you product names, manufacturers, and even model numbers to simplify searching sellers web sites.

You do realize that the US is a net exporter of hydrocarbons now, don't you? Most of the middle east supply goes to Europe and to a lesser extent, to Asia.

Please don't jump on me folks, I understand how a globally interconnected supply system works. I was only replying in the spirit of the quoted post.

Yes, I'm aware that things aren't what they once were...but in the spirit of this thread, broad generalizations will prevail.

Kind of the way I feel too. I don't like supporting terrorism, but I need to put fuel in my vehicles. So off to the local gas station I go to throw a few more dollars into the pockets of an Arab sheik so that he can spend it on his view of ethical humanitarian practices. I also don't support the view points of Google, but I'm dang happy they provide so much structure to the internet. As a Sunday church-goer, I hear all the time how much "we" support Chik-Fil-A being closed on Sundays. We usually talk most about it when we leave church on Sunday to go get lunch at some other place that's open LOL

When Marcus told Trump supporters they could stay out of his stores, I took him up on that.

This was about a year, maybe fifteen months ago. Seems his business has been tanking ever since that time.

Dunno if they are correlated. Just my observation.

I also honored his request. Have not set foot in one since he made that statement...

Instead, you just his his free website to opine about his mis-doings LOL

To those who commented regarding my initial post, the better internet forums do prohibit the posting of a topic in which the OP just places a link without adding any personal commentary. Practices like that discourage a direct conversation about a topic and instead allow for very broad and vague responses. For example, the linked article has so much information in it that the direction of responses can (and will) go all over the place.

Or like most Americans, I can read the headline, ignore the article itself and just make up my mind based on an author's subjective titling methods.
