A Politically-Incorrect Profit Opportunity
June 23, 2015
There is obviously a lot of profit in selling Confederate flags, t-shirts, etc., or Wal-Mart, Sears, and other retailers would not sell them. Now that Wal-Mart, Sears, etc. have announced that they will stop selling these items, there will be profit opportunities for others who will sell them. The end result is that there will be just as many Confederate flags around a year from now, and five years from now, despite Wal-Mart’s “protest” maneuver.
