OK citizens and noncitizens here ya go...
First quarter 2022 (that means soon) Black Rifle Coffee Company will launch their IPO. Could be worth a look. A serious look.
Keeping it bodybuilding related... coffee is a pretty good pre-workout drink.
Win every fight and never doubt your strength.

I love coffee but would stay away from stocks right now.

Fuck Black Rifle Coffee Company

Best compared January 6 Capitol protesters wearing Black Rifle Coffee products to “terrorist organizations that wear American brands when they go behead Americans.”
“Do you think they want to be part of that? And I’m not drawing a parallel between the two. I’m just simply saying here are things in business, when you grow, that are completely outside your control,” he said.
He added, “You can’t let sections of your customers hijack your brand and say, ‘This is who you are.’…It’s like, no, no, we define that.”
Hafer acknowledged its disavowal of Rittenhouse may have cost the company customers but said it allowed the company to “draw a line in the sand,” according to the Times article.
‘It’s such a repugnant group of people,” Hafer told the Times. “It’s like the worst of American society, and I got to flush the toilet of some of those people that kind of hijacked portions of the brand.”
Hafer added, “The racism [expletive] really pisses me off…I hate racist, Proud Boy-ish people. Like, I’ll pay them to leave my customer base. I would gladly chop all of those people out of my [expletive] customer database and pay them to get the [expletive] out.”

I've been waiting for a crash or big correction ever since Covid shut things down. I don't see how markets go up in this environment.

We won't recover.

Hard no from me. They did all they could to throw Rittenhouse under the bus. Then they said anyone who supported him was a racist. Did ya see the fuckin video, BRCC?
They bent immediately to the bullshit Rittenhouse Is Bad media storm in an effort to keep on the right side of the marketplace. Straight onto the bandwagon they jumped. Opportunists. Hucksters & con artists.
-
I'd never support Black Rifle Coffee.
Total phonies.
-
Tend to agree. There is this whole "Conservative, Inc." group of people on the right that are really just hucksters and marketers trying to capture a market segment or audience slice. Wall Street Journal and FoxNews are the two biggest worst culprits, but having little alternative or decades of force of habit gives them huge audiences.
A lot of the Christian voters who have right leaning opinions and values are captured by this also ("Christian, Inc." is a subset of Conservative, Inc.)
Black Rifle Coffee seems to be in this marketing ploy category.
-
Conservative people think that the police and the military have their back. Wrong.
They'll have your back right up to the point that it might cost them some something. Then all of a sudden it's going to be "fuck you and fuck your freedom".

Very true. If it costs them their pensions or pay checks, then everyone should know damn well that the cops and military don’t give a fuck. They went into that line of work for the perks and pensions and money.

The cops and military will do whatever who pays them says.
Cops have power issues and soldiers are trained to follow orders.

Interesting. I did not see that. That's fucked up.
Thanks brother.

I can't lie, I LOVE their coffee, their videos are awesome and patriotic. I have about $500 worth of Bass Pro Shop gift cards and used to use part of whatever gift cards I had to stock up on BRC, but sadly since they took that stance I have to steer away. Sucks!

There are many who have disappointed us and been exposed over the last few years. I don't like the stances of many a company. But I do respect quality and service and a good product. If there was something I absolutely loved and didn't think there was a suitable substitute, to be absolutely honest, I'd probably still use it. But I am happy to see bullshit phoniness exposed and respect anyone who follows their principles.
You probably can't go see a movie today if you boycott craphole liberal actors or watch tv. And sports is also full of this kind of stuff, way worse than the coffee company.

Thanks brother.
I wasn't aware of it either while it was happening. I probably heard it on ar15.com or 4chan pol. A search finds some disappointing quotes from the head of BRCC.
Just visiting those sites probably has me on an aus gov blacklist, lol.
Fwiw, I like my Baratza Sette 270w grinder. Even though it's plasticky and it's probably made in fucking china the design is clever, spinning the outer conical burr instead of the inner so sweet fuck all stale ground retention, no clumping or clogging whatsoever. I grind into a dosing cup. Pull the rubbers off the support arms and the cup slides right in there. I might get a second one so we can have espresso beans next to milk drink beans. Really happy with its performance for the last 12 months.
Disclaimer: That's just for espresso machine extractions, you guys. If you use other brewing methods that don't need a very fine and uniform grind there's no reason to spend a lot on a grinder. Don't use a damn blade grinder for anything (the whole idea is to have the grounds the same size so that they give up their flavors at the same rate. If some are big and some are small, you don't get what you want from the big ones and the small ones overextract and yield bitterness. So blade grinders, which can't control the size or uniformity of the grounds, make lousy coffee) but a breville conical burr will do just fine for anything other than espresso.
Yes, you have to have a grinder and work from full beans because aromatics and oils are volatile and evaporate away, which obviously happens much faster with small particles than whole beans. You also have to use freshly roasted beans, which means fining a roaster and not buying supermarket beans. Ideally use beans roasted 2 weeks prior. There will be roasting date on the bag.

Not sure it's a marketing ploy per se and more of just how they are. Listen to his Rogan podacst - he legit gave people jobs from other countries who assisted on them on the ground overseas.
He also cleared the air on a lot of stuff.
I honestly can't remember it though.

worst coffee I have ever tasted - complete garbage

It takes a lot to piss me off to the point where I'm like "fuck you"
I heard the initial comments, I also heard the damage control. Fuck these dudes for life.

BRC advertises on Hannity's talk radio program.
Hannity promotes them and is a phony too.

Brutal financial thread backfire. The only way Tom wins this one is if BRC soars to the heavens. He could also win by tearing every disagreeing poster in half like a Chinese telephone book

I have the virtuoso grinder for regular coffee which I use for pour overs and french press when I need to make more. Freshly roasted beans make a huge difference to me even with regular coffee. He roasts them the day prior to delivery.

IPO in March 2022.
I’ll wager it gets pulled/delayed. If it goes ahead I’ll wager the share price gets dragged across the coals.
-

Really? Not my brother, my two best friends in high school and my daughter's boyfriend. It had something to do with wanting to serve and protect.

Interesting betting strategy. If the IPO does go ahead on schedule, you lose the bet. If it doesn't go ahead, you lose the second bet. Your only chance of winning is if it is delayed and the share price tanks.
Are you a professional gambler? lol

I keep coming back to getbig because of the wealth of expert opinions, lol

;D In 1993 O'Hearn and I had a contest tearing LA phone books in half. He was actually very fast and very good at tearing phone books in half. We called it a draw.
Just remembered that Mike could tear either direction. I could only tear spine-to-front... That's the easier direction to tear phone books.

In the old days of getbig all threads were supposed to have a connection to bodybuilding. This reference to "coffee being a good pre-workout drink" was made for that purpose.
So remember, always have a nice cup of coffee prior to pumping iron.

Who do they serve and protect? You can serve and protect by being a street sweeper, a janitor, etc. The serve and protect is old and worn out. As we’ve seen in NY, you only serve the government and are their personal henchmen.
-
Police are not on the job to protect the public. They are not security guards.

SilverBox will bring BRCC public tomorrow. Trading at $10.78 right now. Up nicely for the day so far.
What does this mean? I have no idea.
Go train legs (keeping it bodybuilding related)
-
Up 23% today and tomorrow is the big day.
Wear knee sleeves on heavy leg day (keeping it BB related).

Self serving bump.
I'm seldom right but I was right this time... so far.
Up 100%+ in one week.

To tear top to bottom it’s done with the thumbs. Grab the phone book with both hands evenly apart, while squeezing the phone book push your fists towards each other with out sliding them, this will cause a upside down V or a ^ with the pages facing away from you. Now press your thumbs hard in on each side of the ^ and push in and away. The goal is to rip the pages one at a time this way if you do it right you’ll be Thru the book in a second or 2 and it looks like it all happened at once like ripping a piece of paper in half. Old japaneese guy taught me it long ago. He’s said he go in the bar put the phone book and 100 dollar bill down and challenge anyone who could do it could have the 100. He said they would always flip it and bet him that he couldn’t do it so it was easy money . Guy was 150 soaking wet no muscle at all and could rip the fattest phone book like nothing it’s all technique

How many phone books have you torn in half stud?
If Tbone wanted any advice in this thread he would have beaten it out of you. He is only offering advice here PnB nation.

Where the heck are you getting these phone books? I haven't seen one in years.

"Conservative" Black Rifle Coffee
It's like "conservative" TPUSA having a drag queen "lady maga" to counter those darn democrats or, for a while there, republican Bruce Jenner being the last hope for California.
Countering the left by becoming them.

Switched to Blackout Coffee a while back. BRC can suck a fat one.

Sadly their stock has been hit hard. Trading at all time lows. Didn’t sell when it ran up to $30+ per share. Got in at $9 per share.
No concerns. No hurry. It will recover.
I currently enjoy Circle K coffee with a shot of vanilla creamer. $1 !

They made some political moves that disenfranchised their customer base and instead of recognizing that and apologizing, they double downed on it and told everyone to deal with it, they would support whoever they wanted as a business. It's like they are getting canceled by the people they vowed to support but did not.

Like many things, this decade is a decline in consumer demand. Most stuff vanishes as we all become much poorer than today.
1970-1980 is what you look at.
Remember:
Wages +50%
Takeaway coffee +300%
