re: I'm caught in the Target death spiral.

Went to the target in the clearview mall last spring looking for some new bathing suits for the kids and a few odd household items.

Store was an absolute dump. Felt like a rummage store. This was second bad experience in a target store in a few months.

I ordered a lamp for delivery from Target about 8 months back. They literally threw a lamp in a box and shipped it with no padding or foam. Just a lamp in an unmarked containerboard box. I returned it because it was smashed to bits during shipping. They promptly shipped another lamp in a box (no foam padding, no manufacturer container, etc.) and it also arrived broken in about 50 pieces. Tried a third time....and guess what, the same thing happened. Just took the refund then and ordered one from somewhere else.

3 lamps, 3 boxes, and 3 shipping labels only to refund the price entirely.

Anecdotal, but they seem to be struggling with e-commerce in ways that Wal Mart isn't. That's a red flag for me in what was late 2022.

Go Woke. Go Broke.

It's science

Did Ben And Jerry’s ever give back the land which belonged to American Indians that they now own?

Seriously - I bought first republic bank after it’s big initial drop because of course a top 20 bank isnt going to go poof over some online hysteria.
