I'll play devils advocate. So Mondo's attempt at a "goodwill" gesture of donating 10% of the profits gets criticized. Sure, 10% will be a paltry number but at least it's something. So those in the know see it as lip service, great, clearly we know Mondo is using it to potentially move more prints. Oh well, that's business.
And, while we are on the topic, BNG chooses to donate 100% of profits, fantastic! But, how do we know what the profits ultimately were? Was there a spread sheet provided breaking down all costs? How do we know they didn't get a substantial discount on all the bikes purchased? Hell, how do we know the bikes weren't donated free of charge from the bike manufacture or even a bike shop. It's a slippery slope when all the facts aren't presented, so in essence, BNG's "100% donation" could be the equivalent of Mondo's 10% in the end. You have to be able to see the forest for the trees. But boy BNG sure does look good in comparison.
And tangent sidetrack observation to something someone mentioned about how terrible this week has been for them (politically speaking). How has the first week of Trump being in office seriously affected anyone here? Are you in the process of getting deported as we speak? Has your right to choose been taken away? If you're a woman are you making even less than your male counter part today then you did a week ago? Oh, that's right under Obama you barely were payed equally as well - but I digress. I love watching this play out. It's like a nation of entitled, show-up-and-get-your-participation-trophy-because-no-one-is-a-loser-cry-babies just got their binkies taken away. It time you ladies man up to reality. Life is not one giant handout. Funding groups like Planned Parenthood, AMTRAK or even the United States Postal Service, et al, is not a right... it's a taxation. And I know you'll argue it's more than that... but you're wrong.
Also, this "wall" everyone is pissing their pants about, even tho I support the idea, I know the reality will only be symbolic in nature. It will never go from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf Coast, that's an impossibility both financially and geographically. They will start to build it but it will never be completed. So all those illegals you so greatly desire and that your tax paying dollars will ultimately fund (medical, housing, food, ETB, etc) and the potential terrorists can continue to cross unabated. Sleep well you little snowflakes. Life will continue just as you knew it under Obama's leadership, but Trump is actually going to try and effect "Hope and Change" for real this time.
Back on track, I support (and I have been very critical of Mondo in the past) whatever they choose to donate, even if it's only being done for publicity.
Have a nice day!
