It is pretty offensive having his self help stuff, which has positively impacted 10s of thousands, turned into the voice if evil, I reckon. (Again, I haven't really followed the issue too closely).

marron Posted Friday at 05:48 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:48 AM Oh they're offended? Fascism begins with self help of the "be a big strong boy, others are weak and the cause of your troubles" variety. It helped millions too. EmMac, Carns and StringerBellend 3 Link to post

wendybr Posted Sunday at 08:58 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 08:58 AM If A)....I'll answer, to save you any effort. Besides, you probably have gone and won't be back til September. I created that signature in the early months of the pandemic...when so many items were unavailable due to disruptions to supply chains. I hoped manufacturing would return here, and that people would be prepared to pay for stuff made here. Link to post
