Can social media be the demise of bottom feeder companies?

It was the first part I was questioning, where he tells me he's spent this time in the industry, but portrays himself as 0-1 year driver.
And you skipped the most interesting part of that story!


There are offshoots from Dick Simon still about... one of them is KTS, and there's another company out there using the Simon name.... both the aforementioned use the skunk as part of their logo, although the former's skunk is a bit "piratey" looking.

 

Yeah, KTS is one of Tricky Dicky's kids.

Since I've done such I fine job of hijacking, I'll derail this even further:

For years, the skunk on Simon's trucks flew the Jolly Roger, AKA Skull and Bones. However, at some point near the end, someone (who obviously got a lot of trophies for just participating,) decided it was wholly inappropriate to have that symbol on a truck that carried foodstuffs. The thinking (and yeah, that's a stretch to call it that,) was that the Jolly Roger too closely resemble the symbols for poison, and idiots (I'm sorry) people would be confused that trucks were hauling poison into their food warehouse. And away went the Roger...

 

Ahhh.... so the Jolly Roger on the KTS trucks is actually a throwback, and not something Kelle came up with. Didn't realize that. Good stuff!

 

Thats not what I read. Sounded more to me like he's holding people accountable for their choices and actions.

Its a true statement that the drivers for these companies are just as accountable (if not more) as the companies we have dutifully labeled as bottom feeders.

A great example would be nazi soldiers in WWII. I highly doubt they all felt the same way as hitler. But are they any less to blame for not taking action and just following orders? Or is hitler the one that should take all the blame? I'm aware this is a vastly different set of events, but the setup is similar.

 

What exactly is tech savvy anyway ? Research a company on your smart phone, Post comments pic's and videos every where you can (Facebook, Twitter, etc), Make yourself and ponits known on the said company's Facebook fan page, Boast about the number of friend's / follower's you have.

Sounds so scarey !

 

Tech saavy used to mean something. Now, that about sums it up.

I ran a small (I was the only employee...lol) tech repair business as a side job before this. It was amazing what we toss that could be repaired. My mother just recently got a new tv as the old one died. I intend to take the old one apart and attempt to diagnose it. I find that type of thing fun. Plus, I was told if I can fix it I can keep it. Free 52 inch plasma? Sure...I'll fix that right up! Lol

Anyways... Back to the topic at hand. Tech saavy means you're able to operate technology and its components (software, remotes, peripherals, ect.) with at least basic skill without use of instruction or assistance. At least that's my definition.

 

Seems to me like you're grasping at straws and trying to divert attention from the things about you which I brought into question. But so ####### sorry for implying that people bear some responsibility for the decisions they make, or that they should be able to wipe their own #####. I failed to realize how much it would offend your sensibilities.

 

I won't get into it, but they can cause damage not just look stuff up.

 

When I grow up I wanna be a Power Tweeter !
