I heard Roger Kraft bought the building. Does anyone know the plans for this building? Hopefully some jobs for Ft Scott.

Roger Kraft bought the building for his brat kid Ryan, he got into shooting and thinks he can make a few bucks by setting up a ammo loading business.

Typical tax write off for the Kraft's before and after it fails.

Its actually a different type of bullet... rubber or polymer. But who cares why he started it... it is good for fort scott to have any new business. And this business was thought about long before ryan could even shoot

If its such a revolutionary cutting edge technical new product why wasn't it brought out 10 years ago when it was "thought" of?

It was an idea ten years ago..... do u really think you can invent a new type of bullet in a matter of months?...... obvisously it is not an easy task or someone else would be doing it by now.

Henry Ford and John Browning had "Ideas" over 100 years ago and they changed the world, Krafts, especially Ryan couldn't pick his own nose without sticking his finger in his eye first.

If people would spend as much time worrying about themselves as they do others, what a difference it would make. If as much positivity was shared as negativity, our world would be a different place.

Who cares? Leave people alone.

Probably the people of Ward Kraft who have lost profit sharing, bonus checks, pay raises and seen an increase in insurance all the while the owner spends money like it's nothing. It is his money and he can do with it what he wants but I'm sure it stings those who work at WK.

Their are other jobs in fort scot... but the reason people don't leave ward kraft even after losing that stuff is because they still make 17 dollars an hour to watch paper. If roger isn't having fun with ward kraft then let him and ryan try other things what is the use of having all that money if you can't play with it....

I AGREE

Atleast he did not relocate his investment...be happy that some in that town see the positive rather than the overwhelming negative of fort scott...look at numbers...then complain...and if you have any factual documents that would lend credibility to your statement...share...and use stand behind your words.

Public figure is a term applied to defamation actions (libel and slander) and invasion of privacy, so when people on a public forum such as Topix learn a person’s identity, that person may legally be considered a "limited or involuntary public figure". Just identifying ones self on a public forum and writing extensively generates publicity within a narrow field of interest. Perhaps you want or invite the public attention, but not everyone else does.

Personally, ah don't wants ta be a PUBLIC FIGURE just to partissypate in public exchange of hand grenades & bullets, so I will continue to use pseudonyms.

If they don't like the job or benefits, they are free to move on. There are a lot of people that would be happy to have a job at all. How people spend their own money is their own business. And no, I am not friends with, or related to any of them.

I think W-K is a much different place to work under current management. That's not the way Harold ran the company. He took care of the employees, knowing that they were the ones who were responsible for his success. That is the way a company should be operated.

As far as the Wall Street venture, we'll have to wait & see if it sinks or swims. But, you have to admit, the young Kraft's past record is not good. How many things have been started & failed?

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Libra

Be very careful when handling financial matters today because not everything is as straightforward as it seems. For instance, someone may tell you about a fail-safe way of making money but neglect to mention all the reasons why it's totally illegal. There could also be mistakes if you're spending money, such as being short-changed or overcharged. So watch out!
