    Yep that’s it, it was Kimberly Clark. Thank you I couldn’t think of that for the life of me.

    This is a big reason inflation is a high as it is. P&G's CEO last year was speaking to shareholders about raising prices and told them "we can't let an opportunity like this go to waste"

    Had to have a new camera installed Tuesday then picked up at Jarratt going to Groveport yesterday and got the Knoxville BH run for today. Was going up a short hill at 50mph today in TN on I75 and a female BarrNunn driver was trying to pass me but couldn't. Get to the top and I speed up again and she biotches at me for speeding up on her over the CB. I said of course, I was heavy going up a hill, you expect me to stay 50mph? Then she got mad and screamed at me and told me to get out of her way, lol! So I did, and stayed way out front til I got off my exit to deliver this BH.

    My response to her would have been “Do you understand basic physics? I’m heavy, going up a hill I will slow down, going down the hill I will speed up. Now go fornicate yourself”

    Isn't Barr-Nunn one of the family of companies owned by Knight? That's like complaining about a family member....

    Yep. But I get it. I complain about my brother all the time. It falls on deaf ears.

    That is truly eye opening. Only a half dozen corporations control 95% of what every consumer buys, eats, uses or wipes their a.s.s. with.
