this is true. Mart is hard enough.

I was in a Target for the first time in years this past weekend and it felt like a woke leftist utopia. Rainbows, unicorns, weird color schemes m - I expected to see Dylan Mulvaney as a check out “girl.”

It should piss everyone off because they are gouging. All of the big companies have been doing so. The middle class, lower class, and small businesses are getting fricked.

So consumer staples - both retail and supply - have pricing power to consistently gouge over time?

Target is Walmart but in red

They're Walmart but charges you to pretend you're not at Walmart. Seems playing pretend is just their MO.

Why do that? In California you can steal all you want up to $900. Target needs to take note.

What Target is really doing is admitting their super-woke campaign was a failure without admitting they were wrong.

Think how far they have flipped—they used to sponsor Amy Grant concerts.

Their corporate HQ is in Minneapolis, which has capitulated to Wokeness.

Yeah, but after they ran out of free stuff Target and Walmart are closing stores.

Apparently "free stuff" can only go so far.

And Yet that demographic will be the first ones crying racism when the doors are closed because of all their free shopping sprees in those areas.

So inflation wasn’t entirely market driven, corporations have taken advantage of the Covid caused supply chain issues as long as they could.

That excuse was legitimate for maybe 1 year. They just never brought prices back down after it all was fixed

Will the packaging be plastered with rainbows and equal rights messages, because if so I'll just keep paying more for something else

We were being price gouged, but I’m not going to be mad at a company for lowering prices regardless

This is how capitalism is supposed to work. The market responds to the consumer. If shite like this doesn’t happen then we might as well listen to the blue hairs and burn it down.

Except they will just do it low key such as rainbows on every little boy shirts they sell including queer slogans and stupid shite like that. Sure there won’t be a spotlight on it but it’s pervasive and it’s been going on a very long time if you were paying attention. frick them

Kind of sounds like backpeddling after they took that hit after their whole woke LBGTQ fiasco.
