the issues I've read about were with the larger(6.2?) engine and it's Jerry-rigging to comply with EPA mandates, specifically the "dropping" of two cylinders at cruising speeds, I think it's a roll of the dice these days

Yes, MrGRT did his research, so I am not worried. I’m more worried about being hit by an uninsured driver.

probably higher than my engine blowing up

The other day when I was taking #6 to her dress rehearsal - some guy was swerving all over Coursey blvd - hitting garbage cans and driving on the neutral ground - then a genius ran the light at Sherwood & Coursey & another at Jefferson & Essen

I hate driving.

I go to the Target in Covington on Hwy 21.
They used to have several they/thems.
Not any more. All normal looking employees.
No gay pride stuff and it’s not ghetto at all.

I happen to go into a Target with my wife and daughter this past weekend. This one is in Trussville, AL. I can’t remember the last time I’d been in one, but I’d say it’s been at least a couple years. It’s not that I’ve been “boycotting” Target, it’s that I’ve never really been one to go to Target to start with.

The thing that stuck out to me is it looks like Target is a store in decline. It seemed more sparse than what I’d remembered from a couple of years ago. For those who remember K-Mart in its heyday of the 70s and 80s, it reminded me of going into a K-Mart when K-Mart was in its death throes in the late 90s or early 2000s.

I was in wal marx, and you know those photos display of the happy customer above the products...

Well let's just say that 13% of the nation's population was 100% of the in store advertising.

I think that has more to do with Target's recent inability to stock their shelves consistently more than anything else. Can't sell what you don't have

Not going to dispute that, but would like to mention that people notice when store's advertising and catering are real Mulvaney shall I say.

Inflation has gone up, as we know.. Target is known to be more expensive than a Walmart and although they don't consider Walmart as a competitor, when prices go up, I have a hard time believing people don't go to walmart instead of Target to get a lot of things you can buy at both.

Wait, I think their sales are down because when they got rid of DEI, all the suburban white women decided to stay away?

This was me this past weekend, except the one on 280 near Grandview. Went around lunch time and the place was pretty busy, basic white girls to the green haired weirdos to old people. Maybe that location is a one off but it seems to always be that way.

Except these quarterly reports are trailing indicators. Now insofar as projections are contributional to stock prices, you might have a point.

All I can say is my local Target has looked like shite the last few times we went. Merchandise all over the floor, generally very messy.
