    So do we all hate Carhart now because they require all employees be vaccinated? I don't work there or know anyone that does so I don't really care. That being said their product quality has really slid in the past 10 years.

    I do not need to hate them to realize I don't need to buy a name...I prefer to pay for a good product. When it cones down to a toss up...I know I do not need Them or Coke and it's affiliates and subsidiaries. Disney and it's bull ****e woke programing can bite my arse. Is it due to just policies?..No, they now produce products that SUCK. for prices that are OUTRAGEOUS.

    and their prices have gone up; a lot. They also size for 15 year old boys, I can't wear an XL because the shoulders are way too small and the arms too short. And I'm only 6-1/225. XXLs aren't any longer, just wider.

    That being said, I am not 100% sure their mandate has been fact checked. I went on their website and they don't seem woke. No mention of C19 at all.

    Schmidt brand sold at tractor supply is better and lots less.

    If they mandate the jab, that is their right

    First off, I'm wired as to where I can have 10 different processes going at once. I've woke from a dead sleep with the answer to a problem I had had for a week plus. Always things computing in the back of my mind but not really thinking about them. Sometimes they hit and it's an instantaneous gotcha moment.

    Anyhow, today at work I was talking to a coworker just shooting the chit, football and whatnot. He goes back to his machine and I'm about to sit down when, wham, it hits me. Rob!!! Get over here! He comes around the corner and I ask him if he bought Sing 2 over the weekend and he started laughing.

    As it turns out, well over a year and a half ago I loaned him my firestick as I had a streaming app that he could watch Game of Thrones from the beginning. After awhile he kept wanting to buy it, so not being the newer 4k stick I sold it to him. Didn't even think about wiping data of anything as I never purchased prime videos, but now I recall it does sync to your account.

    He wondered why it said Welcome back, Clinton when he opened it. I was like, "And that didn't red flag you for something?".

    Anyhow, my account and identity are safe, turns out it was of my doing unknowingly. Completely forgot I had sold one as I knew I had never returned one back to amazon or a retailer.

    I got my money back and he got to let his kids watch it for free, guess it was some sort of prerelease or something.

    Yea the size thing is a pain. I'm bout same size, 6'2 240, and wore xl forever then anything with sleeves started being to short. So tried xxl and its like wearing a poncho. Mostly only have their outerwear stuff tho and have had good luck with that. But like everything else think keeps getting made cheaper and price higher.

    Only carhart I've ever bought. I do have a few $50,000 carhart coats though.

    The last carhart jacket I bought the zipper pull broke but I made it work but the end of the sleeves frayed and the front along where it zipped. Could have been carrying firewood, doing chores etc that wore it out it was my chore coat and it did wear t on early season fires when it got cold. I still have it guess I could wear it with old tore up jeans and go to town and have farm red. Gave me a thought I bet real farmers look at hobby farmers with horses like the cowboys look at barrel racers on Yellowstone.

    actually, it's not.
    If they did enact the mandate, it was after Brandon said they should, and unless explicitly stated otherwise they are doing so based an Executive Order that is still working its way through the lower courts (the recent SCOTUS ruling only allowed a TRO to remain in place while the case is adjudicated.)

    That in effect makes the business an agent of the Government.

    And that TRO was ordered in effect.

    Getting old sucks but it is scary sometimes. Good friend of mine had a heart attack this morning 100% of his left aorta. He was a health active guy. Part that sucks his wife can't get in the hospital to see what is going on.

    My friend was intubated and eventually recovered from C19. As a side effect, he had afib. They got him on meds.

    He thought he was having a heart attack right after getting released from rehab (4mths post infection), but it was a gal bladder problem...
