GOYA's Employee of the Month
How many have heard of the "Michael Berry Show?" Never heard of it you say? It's a radio talk show and yesterday the special guest was Goya CEO Robert Unanue. Unanue was so thrilled about GOYA's increased sales since progressive space shot Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's call for a boycott of GOYA products, that he named her ' employee of the month!'
That's right, the darling of the radical left did it again. She is the gift to Conservatives and decent Americans that keeps on giving. Her radical agenda has helped to defeat a projected blue wave that was supposed to give Pelosi's House of Representatives 10 more seats, but instead has probably cost the democrats close to a dozen seats. And now she helped the courageous company known as GOYA. Even I bought some of their Chick Peas (my first venture into GOYA) since Ms Cortez boycott.
The "Mouth"
"Goya’s CEO is a huge Trump supporter who was targeted by AOC for a boycott earlier this year. As soon as she spoke out about boycotting the company, Goya products’ sales went through the roof. Trump supporters stepped up to purchase products in defiance of the boycott."

Congrats to GOYA
No pictures or cartoons
She thought it had to do with the Republican's vote perhaps?
Get Off Your Ass
And she couldn't have any of that
LOL
She couldn't nail "bartender of the month" so this one helps.
What Ms Cortez personifies is the cancel culture which censors thoughts, words and even people.
Damn it Vic. She has said on several occasions that her last name is Ocasio-Cortez..........and went all berserk when the media referred to her as just Ms. Cortez.
And it was hilarious.
She is a stickler for her name. I recall her objection was shortening it down to the letters.
Btw she isn't the only moron in government. Out in the one party state of CA they are considering requiring police officers be over 25 or have bachelor's degree. Can you imagine police officers who had bachelor's degrees? They'd be running for the hills every time there was the threat of violence!
What do you think military officers are?
I think the comparison would be MP's...........different kind of "officer". JMO
A military officer is an entirely different matter. Is a bachelors degree a requirement for every military officer? How about an NCO?
Please show us.
No. Don't try to explain Vic away. He showed a real disdain for people who have college educations.
And everyone knows (and if they don't, they better learn) nobody gets a commission these days without at least a bachelor's degree. And there are plenty of enlisted personnel whohave bachelor's and master's degrees.
It's obvious you have never served.
Yes, these days one does not get a commission unless one has at least a bachelor's degree. Degrees are not necessary for enlisted personnel but many have them. I had a BS when I enlisted.
And I did not know any officers who were given a field commission and that was back in 1987-1996
And plenty of NCO's who work their way up the ranks!
He showed a real disdain for people who have college educations.
Nope. I'm standing up for those who don't! We have been ruled by the kind of educated elitists who can't admit they don't know much about a new virus!
But you do have NCO's ??????
Let us leave your military service out of it. Since you brought up all of this educated brilliance, maybe you can tell us how we spent $500 million to put “four or five” fighters on the ground in Syria ???
That must be their way of ridding of the PDs all together, because POs don't make enough money to require a Bachelor's degree... in what I'd imagine would be Law Enforcement.
wha????
Nothing gets done in the military without the NCO's carrying out the officers' orders.
Why don't you go get a smidgen of military knowledge before bombarding me with stupid questions.
It's also obvious that you realized your misstep and are now backtracking.
Your disrespect for my military service is palpable. I imagine you disrespect quite a few of us veterans here on NT
You talk about NCO's like they were buck privates. Don't they give orders???
It's also obvious that you realized your misstep and are now backtracking.
No I'm coming right at ya.
Many people straight out of college don't make much more money than police officers. Teachers are a fine example
They think they can replace muscle with a degree. They can't.
Great example!
No, I didn't. You just don't know diddly squat about the military because you never had the balls to find out anything about it.
You're reading shit into my comments that I didn't put there just to try and score points.
Can't speak for Vic but one can respect the service while they don't have to respect the person. Kind of like the office of PotUS. An asshole is still an asshole. Service or no service.
Ms Aubrey didn't say that, I did. You might want to calm yourself down before you reply to the wrong person again.
So now educated people can't be brawny, too?
I agree and think it's crap. I think teachers should get paid more than they do.
My father was in the military a good deal of his life.
I imagine you disrespect quite a few of us veterans here on NT
You are a veteran who is a progressive - I would venture to say you are out of step with most veterans, not only politically but in wearing your service on your sleeve!
And thank you for your service.
sure...whatever.
getting out of this meta circus which I started
Me, me, me. Ya I wasn't interested in joining the military. That doesn't mean I don't respect them. The argument you raised is about education and the need for degrees - don't hide behind the military. Answer the question - Why did it take 500 Million to train 5 rebels in Syria???
That was the result of our elite highly educated leaders!
Thank-you.
So - the charge was I disrespected veterans
GET IT?
In other words I wouldn't disrespect my own father.
GET IT YET?
How about it was a false claim based on nothing?
Oh right! [deleted.]
That's odd. In her top-notch high school and college years, she wanted people to call her Sandy Ocasio. Per Vox:
Now, she wants to be hyphenated? LOL!
Don't forget she is a rock star now!
Seems you don't hang around the same military officers that I do. Of course most of the ones I know worked their way up the food chain. They practice the "I won't ask my men anything I wouldn't do, or haven't done" approach.
Only with Socialist HoR/Senate members and media lemmings. To everyone else, Sandy Ocasio is just a crappy Socialist bartender who now has "power" while accumulating a lot of wealth and doing nothing that helps US citizens and legal immigrants.
Most of us need not 'imagine' that Vic. Many urban police forces have a pretty high percentage of officers with BA's or better.
WTF lead you to that unfounded conclusion?
That's odd, while that's what the wiki article says, the Vox article doesn't claim that she used Sandy Ocasio in College.
Guess you'll have to find another source to support your claim.
Not that it really matters because NOW, she gets to decide how she is addressed.
Nope, they are not her constituency!
Funny how that works. Unanue is right. Her ethnicity is something she uses when it suits her.
She's done the same with portraying her "poverty" upbringing. She lived 24 of her 29 years in upper middle class Westchester County (Yorktown Heights), not in a Bronx project, before being elected to lifetime, taxpayer-funded pay dirt.
If she was really brought up in Latino/Hispanic household, she'd have known that Goya products are the best. Poor thing had to research how to make adobo seasoning, so that means her Puerto Rican mother never taught her how to cook Latino/Hispanic foods.
Correct. It's all packaging.
Poor thing had to research how to make adobo seasoning, so that means her Puerto Rican mother never taught her how to cook Latino/Hispanic foods.
I doubt it.
Well, "Sandy Ocasio" definitely repackaged herself, but millions of people are laughing at her stupidity when it comes to her BU Economics and International Relations "expertise".
And don't forget BU. They can't be much more than a diploma mill. Isn't it sad?
Employee of the Month!
This is the funniest thing I have read all week. Props to the CEO of GoyaFoods for some masterful trolling of someone who richly deserves it.
I also read that they had to build a new facility in Texas to keep up with increasing demand. AOC Tweets are - ironically - the most effective stimulus program our economy has.
This 81 year old company's western canning and distribution hub moved to Brookshire TX in 2013 and
immediately made plans to double the facility footprint to the tune of $250 million. That project was completed in late 2018.
In October 2020 Goya announced they would be the replacing old canning equipment
with $80 million in modern tech that could double their output from this plant which serves the Western half of the USA.
Current press releases credit the US pandemic and the trend toward healthy foods.
In July of 2015 they opened a brand new facility in Jersey City NJ with plans to invest $500 million through 2025.
In late 2015 they also announced a $250million dollar project to modernize the Secaucus NJ plant
2015 was the end of one ten year plan and the beginning of a new 10 year plan.
Goya is worth about 1.1 Billion with 1.5 Billion in annual sales.
So nothing AOC has said has had any significant impact on Goya.
Bob Unanue made a good joke giving AOC the employee of the month "award" and he was exaggerating "bigly" about the 1000%.
Of course all they need is a pic of ivanka holding up a can and donald touting it (even though I doubt either one of them has ever eaten any) and all the trumpers run out and by a can....
GOYA Foods is a part of our culture now. Every supermarket I know carries it and I live in New England.
Part of our culture? Hahaha
I guess viagra is part of our culture as well.
Sorry that you missed it.
Missed what? People taking viagra while eating a can of beans and calling it culture?
?
I'd much prefer to see American leaders saying "Buy [Product X]" as opposed to "Boycott [Product X]." Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative.
I would rather see ceo's staying out of policy decisions, yet here we are.
Like CEO's don't butt into policy decisions when Democrats run things.
Did I say they didn't?
I think we managed to get it all in without a slap fight.
To all those who kept it civil - have a good night.
