I’d rather be one of Jerry’s Kids than Jim’s.

There were no DEI/Ginn merger victims. Only victims created by Bobby

Another 12 months on Ginn’s current path… and Bobby would have been
closing the doors on EVERYBODY.

Thank DEI for PREVENTING ALL OF THE “Ginn Kids” from becoming victims.

This is EXACTLY why the comment feature after all online news articles
should be discontinued.

Lies. Stupidity. Defamation. (not legitimate “opinion”)

Hey Jim. what exactly do you define as a legitimate opinion? Anything that conforms to what you think? When I look up opinion, I get “A belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.” When I read that and look at all of the comments in this thread (including YOURS), they all look like legitimate opinions to me!

By the way, if you don’t like the comment feature then don’t read the comments! Seems like that should pretty much be common sense, IMHO.

We kept hearing that 125 employees lost jobs. That was widely reported. Is everyone that claims that, starting with Nemechek and Labbe, lying? There has to be some truth to it. Ginn went from contender to pretender in a heartbeat and a lot of people were victims on different levels. And everyone knows that DEI has given to charities for years. I hope they continue to do so. I just didn’t know that we had so many knowledgeable DEI know it all insiders on board this column. Opinions are like a**holes and everybody has one. Enjoy.

The first group he can help are the kids of the DEI/ Ginn merger victims.

Hot Rod Todd....
Your jewel of a remark demonstrates how young, uninformed... and biasly
______________

DEI (Especially Teresa) have notoriously been some of the hugest financial
donors that far excede ANYTHING that Junior, Truex... or for that matter,
most any other drivers have given for charity... and Teresa and Dale Sr.
have done it throughout the 27 year existence of their company.

Teresa [herself] has given HUGE amounts to private charities that help
handicapped children with disabilities - because of issues in her private
life, which i'm not about to discuss in a public forum. The reason
you don't hear it trumpetted on a megaphone like we do every time the
others do it... is because Teresa chooses to operate on a much more discrete
level because she does not seek the media attention or spot light...
