Captain Charles Boycott was so hard on his Irish tenants that they ostracized him, refusing to work for him or to do any business with him. The tactic was so successful that all such actions became known as ‘Boycotts’....the truth is while most boycotts seldom work as well, it is one of the few tactics that the mob (us) can use to defend against power-mad despots (them). ‘Course, one of the disadvantages we have is that a lot of us’ns ‘ud rather be thems. Which was Capt. Boycott’s problem. Seems he wanted to impress his employers by grinding his bootheels on the necks of.....well, I’m sure you got the idea already.
Doesn’t really matter, I spoze, as I only brought it up to express my irritation with the Hershy Co.......I boycott Nike for exploiting children in 3rd world countries & I pretty much won’t buy Shell gas & I’ve boycotted Raley’s off & on for about 30 years (not that any of these companies have noticed)......Anyway, Hershys recently closed their Oakdale operation. I c’n understand business closing an operation that is losing money & I c’n understand consolidating operations as a means of more productivity so when I first heard that they were gonna close Oakdale, I tho’t..”that’s a shame” but stuff happens as the world changes.......THEN I heard the reason they closed Oakdale (at the cost of 700 or so jobs) & a few more locations (at the cost of over 3000 jobs) was to consolidate & move the operations to Mexico, (much cheaper there)....Well, hurrah for profits.....so much for ‘the all american candy company’...
as far as I’m concerned, they can sell their candies etc in Mexico & bad ‘cess to ‘em.....I’ll just ‘Kiss’ them off & never buy another Hershys product.
Beware the Jabberwock & take evasive action from the vorpal blades.............Justin Other Smith
