"As Larry Davidson (and home depot) puts it: "You can do it; we can help."

"In California, BP is working with the home depot to promote their Solar Home Solutions package and make it widely available to consumers. BP expects its upcoming solar energy efforts to focus on providing "on-grid" installations in key markets, while continuing with "off-grid" projects in developing countries.

"If BlueLinx wanted to appear to be a wood products industry leader and not a predator, it would take a strong stand and severely curtail its importation of Indonesia wood products—much like Centex, IP, and The home depot have done.

When Colon, who was supporting a family on less than $2,000 a month, could not pay a bill that was more than three times his annual earnings, the Catholic hospital sued and garnished his wages." - Donald L.

"Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, home depot are all going to wither and die. They were strictly manifestations of the cheap oil final blowout and they will not survive beyond it under the conditions of the Long Emergency.
