Since AW1Ed is busy right now, I’m dropping these two stories in for you early risers to read and be amused.<\/p>\n
Greta Thunberg did not receive the Nobel prize last week. Instead, it went to Abi Ahmed, Prime Minister of Ethiopia, for working to resolve the issues that have wrought havoc between Ethiopia and Eritrea.<\/p>\n
https:\/\/people.com\/human-interest\/greta-thunberg-2019-nobel-peace-prize\/<\/a><\/p>\n From the article:\u00a0 Though her passionate plea to save the planet had made her a frontrunner in many eyes,\u00a0teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg<\/a>\u00a0was not awarded the\u00a02019 Nobel Peace Prize<\/a>, leading many on social media to take it upon themselves to recognize all of the good she\u2019s so far inspired.<\/p>\n The coveted award instead went to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, for \u201chis efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and in particular for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighboring Eritrea,\u201d the Norwegian Nobel Committee said in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n The committee said the win was also meant to recognize \u201call the stakeholders working for peace and reconciliation in Ethiopia and in the East and Northeast African regions.\u201d<\/p>\n Meantime, Dicks Sporting Goods has to date destroyed over $5 million worth of guns, proudly announced by its CEO last week. And a rival company, Sportsman\u2019s Warehouse, is moving right in to take over Dicks branch stores \u201cField & Stream\u201d, having recently bought eight of those stores. https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2019\/10\/09\/dicks-sporting-goods-loss-is-sportsmans-warehouses.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n From the article:\u00a0 Dick’s Sporting Goods<\/strong>\u00a0(NYSE:DKS<\/a>)\u00a0keeps\u00a0distancing itself<\/a>\u00a0from the firearms market, which suits\u00a0Sportsman’s Warehouse<\/strong>\u00a0(NASDAQ:SPWH<\/a>)\u00a0just fine. The smaller sporting goods retailer is buying eight of Dick’s Field & Stream stores, outlets that focus in good part on the hunting market, as it seeks to return to a program of expansion. – article<\/p>\n The timing just might be right, too. Although the firearms industry has been in a slump since late 2016, there are\u00a0numerous indications<\/a>\u00a0the bottom has been reached, and it is starting to rise again. Sportsman’s Warehouse could be perfectly positioning itself to capitalize on the recovery.<\/p>\n It\u2019s just as well; destroying something that could have been returned to the manufacturer, who would resell it elsewhere, is a manifestation of virtue signaling gone \u2018round the corner. It is as dumb a business move as putting \u2018Gun Free Zone\u2019 in your store window and leaving the cash registers open.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
