What are we basing the 9/1 rumors on? How do we know we'll have cuts on 9/1?

99% of the posters are a bunch of f'ng whiny people who only seek their boat not to be rocked. Complacency filled Target HQ floors for years. Now, it seems that BC is looking to make Target a well-oiled machine, and you poor people don't like it... — read more
