spin_dry Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 i haven't purchased anything from this company in years. it seems like a company that has a strong liberal following. their alignment with subaru and various environmental groups. it'll be interesting to see the outcome that this trump endorsement has on their bottom line. aren't they a rather large employer in maine?

"regular customer base". What does that mean? A compay's customer base is fluid. Customers come and customers go. Money is same color.

Edmo Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 One of the board of directors of llbean gave almost a million bucks to Obama and was a top 10 donor. I don't recall any outrage about that. Hmmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I bet his shit would look picture perfect! Clean and pressed! I've known people like that.....they pull their $10,000 shotgun out of the case in two parts and can't figure out how to put it together. Doesn't matter though...they can't hit shit with it anyway. They'd be more successful throwing rocks. And a lot less dangerous. Last grouse hunt I was on years ago, I made one of them walk in front of me off to one side. I figured it may give me time enough to duck or take cover. Idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also down the road from their flagship store In freeport storehave their warehousing and shipping operations. Its a great company that has a dolt as a member.
