An interesting angle, Eric. The original posts were with respect to losing USA jobs, another company being bought out by the big dollar, etc.

It will be something to watch down the pipe if the mean average of tire prices change. When InBev bought out Anheuser-Busch, not too many people were concerned about the price of Bud going up, moreso than another USA company being bought out.

On one hand..... sure..... big money bought another here and production here in the States might suffer. Time will tell. On the other hand, for Bob Newton's family.... if they got a good big price for the sale..... good for them. Sometimes you just want to take the money and run, and if that is the case here, good for Bob's family. They deserve every buck they can get.

But once again, although sarcastic (which is now banned in North Korea, by the way), good point, Eric.
