Dec 2011

The real issue is the perpetual whining by Langone: "I couldn't start Home Depot in 2011 because ______(insert scapegoat here)"

The answer to that is "good!" How many small businesses have we lost because of big box retailers that swoop into smaller markets and put local merchants out of business? So whenever my right-wing friends quote Langone I reply to them "I'm glad Home Depot couldn't be created in 2011...destroying the economy once is enough for me."
