Wow! The sun is glaring in through the window. We have a partly cloudy sky, which means that different parts of the sky are cloudy while other parts are sunny. A sunny part is passing overhead and the brightness flooding into the room is brilliant. The temps are in the upper 30s (F). They will climb up into the upper 40s (F). That will be fine. Howie will get a walk in, though in the neighborhood, not up at Adams-Ricci.
Work yesterday was interesting. One of my blind measurements stopped by the flooring desk to have a set of banded shades designed. They're expensive. He said that with the 35% discount the cost shouldn't be that bad. Hahahaha. He wanted to purchase 30 shades. His cost before discount was over $14,000 (Hahahaha). After his discount it was over $9000. (Hahahaha). As you might guess, he decided to wait. There might be a better discount next week, maybe 40%. I emailed him a link to the design so he can review it in the comfort of his home, and where he can, should he want, pick a far less expensive shade.
Sales are down. This is to be expected. Prices are only going to go up. And it is Friday, February 28, the last day of the month. I stole this from Six.
And you know? I was thinking last night that with the size of the universe, a million, maybe a billion planets have already gone through the shit we're going through right now, that is if social evolution follows the same path on every planet with life. This is, of course, a concept Conservatives will never be able to understand. They desperately want us to be alone. That's the only way we can remain special. Sadly, they're wrong.
It will take more than one day of boycotts to make corporate America heed. When Rosa Parks refused to sit at the back of the bus, black men and women in the south had to boycott bus companies for over a year before public buses were finally desegregated. The same will have to happen here, of long term boycotts, to rile the investor class as their stock value plummets and hurts them in their pocketbooks.

It won't take nearly that long. This is going to be the 2nd week my store doesn't make forecast and I was told sales figures have either stalled or are in decline across the region. Though we do need to keep the boycotts constant and frequent, having one every 2 weeks is not going to change anyone's mind.
DeleteI'm wondering when the billionaires and their giant egos and tiny dicks get pummeled in these boycotts, might they change their minds about The Felon and Leon?
ReplyDeleteNot as long as that tax break carrot is dangling in front of their noses.
DeleteI do like the idea of buy nothing on the 28th! Not sure if it works but I guess if you hit it with your pocketbook it might!
ReplyDeleteI ventured out of my house once, to take Howie for a walk.
