U.S. Politics

[Lone Star]

Very simple continuum that reflects Far Left (totalitarian - total control) vs Far Right (anarchy - no government).

Conservative Americans are dead center law & order -- defend the Constitution, promote Free Enterprise, nurture Individual Liberty.

Groups that attempt to take the law into their own hands -- whether they consider themselves conservatives or liberals -- are to the far right and on the cusp of anarchy. Those groups include BLM, paramilitary groups, the KKK, Antifa, et al. These groups violate the rights of others -- even using force if they consider it necessary. That's not conservative, and that's not law-abiding.

Good ole Giovanni Gentile ... the forgotten philosopher of Fascism -- from the LEFT. If Leftists embraced Gentile, the Left couldn't continue to call Conservatives "FASCIST".

Walgreens has had online stores for many years. Starting LAST YEAR they began a worldwide effort to reduce their investment in brick & mortar locations to improve their profitability.

200 locations in the UK and 200 in the US were targeted out of over 18,500 stores worldwide.

The company operates more than 18,500 stores in 11 countries.

"Given that these closures will represent less than 3% of our stores overall, and given that we have multiple locations in many markets, we anticipate minimal disruption to customers and patients," Caruso said in an email. "We also anticipate being able to retain the majority of the impacted store team members in other nearby locations."

In December, Deerfield-based Walgreens said it would take a number of actions to dramatically cut its costs by 2022. The "transformational cost management program," as the company is calling it, will mean a pre-tax charge against earnings of about $1.9 billion to $2.4 billion, according to the regulatory filing. Of that sum, employee severance and business transition costs are expected to range from $600 million to $700 million.

In Free Enterprise, businesses make decisions every day that impact profits and employees. There are business success stories and failures every day.

Walgreens is working to be more profitable and keep their doors open. The majority of employees impacted were reassigned to other nearby locations.

There are winners and losers in Free Enterprise. No room for Cry Babies.

Trump's very limited political skill set was on full display with his visits to El Paso and Dayton. He's clearly way out of his depth as President. That's been obvious for a while.

Trump seems to have pretty much had a free run in respect of sexually assaulting women. It's difficult to hold the wealthy accountable before the criminal law.

More businesses doing corrective measures to keep the economy on the move

Steak 'n Shake revealed this month that it has temporarily closed 103 restaurants as of June 30, up from the 44 temporary closures it reported in May.

The struggling burger chain had closed a significant number of stores in Missouri and Ohio, as part of an effort to turn them over to franchisees. It wasn't immediately clear if any of the newly disclosed closures were in the St. Louis area; a Steak 'n Shake spokeswoman didn't respond to a request for more information.

No word on the say 10,000 employees that will be laid off

UT is crying out for your wisdom - please go back.

It would be a win/win for both forums.
