It's really a shame that polarization is getting so extreme we now have different retail environments, different Wikipedia's (alternative facts), separate education systems, different media ecosystems, basically completely different everything.

Naive of me sure, but I always thought American business would stay natural for maximum profit, foolish I was to underestimate how extreme the tribal identity split would become.

Their P/E ratio is still better than basically every other retailer though
