Comments??? So many unknowns…

SD wants to launch the IPO in September or October? Any insights or confirmations??

Ok. Now that mass layoffs are long gone and the company still s—s at ecommerce and can't sell it's way out of a squirkle shaped bag, is it safe to assume that the leadership a) is the problem, and b) should have been purged instead of all the good... — read more
