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.

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?

This can cut two ways. It was because of Cabellas that the town boomed. Before that, it was just like it is now, minus all the improvements. The townspeople need to take advantage of the improvements that the Cabellas boom brought them and run with it. Also, even though the townpeople lost, all those retired teachers and other retirees who had this stock in their portfolios came out winners.

Reminds me of the hit off-Broadway play Other People’s Money.

Hedge fund are politically easy to scapegoat. The fact is that small town America began its decline long before hedge funds were created, as small towns were portrayed in the media as a place of racism and hidden evil. But I’ve seen dying small towns revive as retirees and people who work at home seek to escape high-cost, crime ridden urban areas and enjoy the benefits of community. Quaint is now the in thing.
