Bankrupt Sears gets OK to pay executives millions in bonuses

This belongs right here in this thread. The same fat cats who drove this once great company into bankruptcy somehow “deserve” these huge bonuses, so that they will stick around to guide the company through restructuring. Seems to me they are incompetent fools, who deserve to be cut off entirely, including their salary. It’s way too late to turn Sears around because of these very idiots. No doubt every one of them a “good Republican”.

Yeah, it's just anecdotal.
U.S. Cash Repatriation Plunges 50%, Defying Trump's Tax Forecast

Oops. Once again, Whell’s undying belief in his master’s supremacy hits the wall of reality. Beginning to think Whell was just a Russian troll, after all.

Perfectly fitting, isn’t it, that Trumpkin fools like Whell run off and hide, taking no responsibility for their idiotic posts, when they’re proven wrong. So very Trumpian.

Why Trump's $1.5 Trillion Tax Cut Hasn’t Sparked Hiring or Investment

The evidence continues to pile up. An unmitigated disaster for the economy.

What's a little quid pro quo between pals?

MyPillow CEO lays off 150 people — after crediting president’s tax cuts for "economic boom"

https://www.salon.com/2019/05/12/myp...-boom_partner/

So much winning! Isn't this about the only advertiser left on Fucker Carlson's hate-fest? Hope they go tits up.

Reality:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...f-tax-overhaul

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is boosting its starting hourly wage to $11 and delivering bonuses to employees, capitalizing on the U.S. tax overhaul to stay competitive in a tightening labor market.

“Tax reform gives us the opportunity to be more competitive globally and to accelerate plans for the U.S.,” Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillon said in the statement.


Wal-Mart’s decision makes it the latest corporate titan to plow expected tax savings into employee payouts. Boeing Co., AT&T Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. have all made similar announcements in recent weeks. Wal-Mart said it’s “early in the process of assessing potential additional investments” it could make.
Bonuses Drop, Signaling Tax-Cut Payouts Were a One-Time Windfall
Private-sector companies’ spending on bonuses fell 24% in first quarter from a year earlier

https://www.wsj.com/articles/faded-e...ed-11560871497

Not surprisingly, Whell is once again proven to be a complete fool. Small wonder the idiot is afraid to show his ignorant face around here anymore; virtually everything he believes is always proven to be completely wrong.

Why CEOs are saying they need to be more socially minded now

For decades, the driving goal for corporate America has been maximizing stockholders' profits. So what made nearly 200 of the country's most prominent companies issue a joint statement this week, representing a major philosophical shift? John Yang talks to Steven Pearlstein of The Washington Post and author of "Can American Capitalism Survive?"

https://www.pbs.org/video/why-ceos-a...ow-1566339501/

Excellent interview. Corporations can't lie about their ruthlessness anymore, thanks to social media.

Democrats Vs. Republicans: Who Is Better For The Stock Market?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterla.../#746e13d6239d

Quote:
Looking at the table below of total returns for the S&P 500 during presidencies since 1929, it is clear that U.S. stock returns have been much better when a Democrat was the president
Just the facts, Whell.

Small wonder Whell won't show his idiot face 'round these parts anymore. Such a moron. He completely bought into Donny's lunacy!

I doubt Whell is smart enough to even realize just how duped he was.
