    Default Dick’s crossed the NRA — and they hit back hard.

    Now Dick’s has to deal with… the best sales ever


    The Pittsburgh-based chain posted its best quarterly sales result in six years Tuesday, with same-store sales up 6% in the company’s third quarter. That comes on top of a better than 3% increase in same store sales in the second quarter, executives noted.



    “We saw increases in both average ticket and transactions, as well as growth across each of our three primary categories of hardlines, apparel and footwear,” said Edward W. Stack, chairman and chief executive officer. “As we head into the holiday season, we remain very enthusiastic about our business.”


    This new generation of voter is not obsessed with guns, and correctly believes that the gun fetish culture isn’t just sick, but deadly

    I wish you'd post a better source, to begin with. Now I'm interested but too lazy after the holidays to check into it further. I know I'd shop at Dick's if they had a local store. Rewarding good businesses is so much better than wasting time with boycotts of the negatives.

    Dicks still sells guns in 600 of its stores. The increase in stock price and sales is due to the two fulfillment centers they built, mostly robotized. Less unskilled labor needed. As usual, Guno fails again.

    Here you are:

    https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/reta...new-forecasts/

    "On a roll: Dick's Sporting Goods surged 18.6% to $46.78 Tuesday as it raised its full-year earnings expectations for the third time this year, after reporting quarterly results that topped analysts' estimates after a decision to end gun and ammunition sales. Shares closed the week at $45.81."

    Bull-Shit! And most Americans know it!

    In a survey by the Washington Post and ABC News published on 7 May, more than 80% of Democrats and 66% of independents said “the economic system in this country” mainly works “to benefit those in power”, rather than all Americans. Nearly a third of Republicans agreed.

    More Americans are employed but most jobs still pay squat. Adjusted for inflation, recent wage gains are smaller than the wage gains of 2015. Workers have lost so much bargaining power that not even the lowest unemployment rate in half a century is doing much to boost pay.

    Employers continue to sack workers willy-nilly. One example: AT&T executives promised that the corporate tax cut would allow them to create more jobs. Instead, they’ve laid off 23,000.

    Add to this that almost 80% of American workers are living paycheck to paycheck, and you get a feel for the havoc so many families are living in.

    Meanwhile, the costs of education, childcare, housing, and healthcare are soaring. Trump hasn’t done a thing to help. If anything, he’s made everything worse.

    Student loan debt is in the stratosphere. Remember the old promise that if you took a public service job your student loan would be forgiven? You can forget it. Betsy DeVos’s education department has rejected 98% of forgiveness applications.

    Housing is out of reach for young workers, which is why so many are living with their parents and postponing marriage. Yet Trump keeps cutting affordable housing.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.
