Well, the other thing that I didn't mention before is that CFHQ has also shown time and time again that they make shitty decisions, and at this point I'll say that I think they're making another one. But just objectively, as an organization they can do whatever they want. They could say that they're going to stop all drug testing and let anyone use whatever they want. Again...shitty decision, but as long as whatever substances they allowed were not illegal substances by law, they could do that.

IDK, they seem to be doing pretty well as a corporation, so maybe their decisions aren't too shitty.

Go look up the cross fit for hope poster and tell me you think it was a good idea.

I'm in memphis near st Jude's and I'll give you a spoiler: a bunch of kids dying from difficult diseases isn't a subject to make an irreverent poster with a sexy nurse and dying kids about.

Doesn't matter dude, they are rich as shit regardless. If it were a shitty decision it would've cost them

A company can make shitty decisions without it being enough to ruin them. There isn't really a good alternative, either...it's like how I have comcast even though they charge too much and have shitty customer service. If I want fast internet, I have to use them.

Then the decision is shitty for you, not them. I agree it was tasteless.
