They could start their own company... they have all the people right there. Never crosses their mind.

Sure, they were bought out by BPS but why was the store closed unless it wasn’t making money?

Wake up, Nebraska voters. Sen. Sasse does not support PresidentTrump because the President loves American workers. Sasse is in bed with vulture capitalists like Singer.

They can’t run their own company. Co-ops don’t work.

I get what you’re saying, but:

A new company, with no name recognition, that now competes against the combination of their old company’s scale, infrastructure and name plus the resources and scale of their old company’s biggest rival. They could have all the heart, good intentions, and pluck in the world, and they’d still have a Sisyphean battle.

HOORAY Tucker. “Vulture Capitalism”? More like

BOURGEOIS SOCIALISTS

A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances, in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.

To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organisers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole-and-corner reformers of every imaginable kind. This form of Socialism has, moreover, been worked out into complete systems.

We may site Proudhon’s Philosophie de la Misere as an example of this form.
The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements.

Communist Manifesto pg 49.

Hey Commies. Were you serious about B.S.? Well, we’ve got one right here and The IDIOT is running for president.

Approaching 2020

See clearly

Cabelas should have never went public to begin with. Sporting goods is a rough retail business. Most of them have become glorified clothing stores. (where they make the most markup)

“I hope Paul Singer is proud of what he did,” said one Sidney business owner

I'm pretty sure he is - Elliott maximized shareholder value and the return on their investment. Companies which want to prevent activist investor meddling need to be prepared to defend themselves and make the case to all of their investors that it is in their best interest to resist the demands of some hedge fund.

Hoping that guys like Paul Singer will feel guilty and knock off their legal activities is probably not going to work out.

So now corporations are supposed to get woke and consider the impact of the communities they operate in? What happened to maximizing shareholder value?

The real question here is when do you start limiting purchases like this on antitrust grounds, using the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act?

Or, was that just divide and control BS from your rulers, like our Divide Control Power Center?

Red state? Blue state?

That would be a capital intensive start up, would Sanger loan them money at a fair rate? 🤣

I watched that on my way to work this morning.

Carlson had better watch his back.

They make me think of the Twentieth Century Motor Company in Atlas Shrugged.
