Working for Home Depot at 18 in 1998, and getting involved in the stock option's helped me learn the value of money while also learning so many useful skills, I was able to buy a house a year later and I knew how to maintain it. This man changed my life for the better and we've never met. Thank you.
Found the corporate simp!
That's one outstanding man. Anyone so foolish as to disparage Jews or Capitalism should spend the 48 minutes and get himself a brain adjustment. Excellent interview!
When Iâm that age, I want that head of hair. đ
PRAGERU!!!!!
Store business whose customer base is dedicated to people who do shit themselves
So far as I'm aware, anybody who eats food does shit themselves.
You can smell it too
Anybody know a good concise, overview book on American history please? (None w*kÉ offcourse) Non American here wanting to learn the truth. Struggling to discern between good books and lÄft1st agenda books.
Thanks!
Home Depot recently started posting their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Playbook Poster in their store locations. This doesn't inspire hope in me.
I'm boycotting them and praying Lowes doesn't go the whole hog down the same path.
@@glendacollins2898Keep it up! Theyâll sure miss you. đ„±
@@glendacollins2898 Lowe's is worse than Home Depot. Home Depot is worse than Menards. Menards is slowly eventually going to go 'woke' too.
But Prager loves DEI. He just calls it by a different name, the more 1960s version of it all. Heâs all on board with that
Atleast in CA under AB 979
They have to include diversity equity
3:55 "Sadaqa" that's the same word for Charity in Arabic. Wonder if it's the same bc theyre both Semetic languages or it came from Arabic
This what I was always heard about this company Business! Family very in Bible 10 commanmentsâ€! Old and New Testaments
Did I give up on The Home Depot prematurely for their adoption of CRT? As a carpenter, I prioritized them; once I heard they were posting the usual woke nonsense, however, I dropped them. I have no intention of reversing this decision.
If you watched the video you'll have seen that Bernie is highly critical of CRT.
I prefer Menards.
Home Depot dove fully into the woke culture crap! What is going on here?
Really surprised Prager - please tell me what I'm missing here...?
Hiring people who know nothing about anything
Lol
Lol when you had your first job you did not know nothing about that. For some people HD is their first job , for other people they are still learning. Other people just donât want to work. Just because you had a bad experience doesnât mean all the Home Depotâs are the same.
All of this advice, you can learn from skateboarding and playing basketball.
HD managed to put tens of thousands of small / medium hardware/lumber retailers out of business over the last 30 years. All to prop up the tribe!

Like bill gates at alternate universe
Dennis says âAmerica is the least rayciss country in the worldâ like thatâs a GOOD thingâŠ
Maybe if we were a little more rayciss weâd have a border.
When I think of Home Depot, I think of cheap Chinese crap that changes constantly and won't be on the shelves in a matter of months. I think of an absolutely useless online inventory system and customer service so abysmal you are made to feel like an asshole for simply exisiting.
I feel that way about Wal-Mart ... âŒïž
You donât get to lecture people about government handouts when corporations like Home Depot sustain themselves significantly on government subsidies.
Ah yes, the CEO who thinks all of his employees are trash. Definitely someone to listen to.
Seeing this is hilarious I literally decided to never shop at home depot ever again in life because the customer service is trash and just about everyone I know feels the same way and here this guy is bragging on how proud he is of their customer service let a place like Walmart that sells the same thing for less up their brand loyalty and home depot is out of business easy these CEOs know nothing about the middle class Americans they bank on taking money from they are just shooting in the dark at this point and hoping they hit something đđ€Ł
I feel that way about Wal-Mart
