Are you tying this to the transgender bathroom issue from 16 or did they do something more recently?

If you don’t see the difference in switching costs between spending dollars at target and MS there is little hope to explain it to you.

Even though I hate Target, this is probably a safe bet. The supply chain was/is killing every business right now.


Not to mention the stock market is undergoing a major correction and approaching bear market territory so any bad news is amplified.

MS? You mean Microsoft? A company that many would say is woke and still incredibly profitable?

If you don't see the difference between most retailers doing badly and whatever nonsense you just made up, there's little hope to explain it to you.

Or most people don’t give a shite. Same thing happened with the Chick-fil-A kerfuffle over gays 5is years ago.

I think this sentiment will go the same way as the boycotts…the sentiment of the too online that has minimal real world impact.

I think it’s pretty simple, calculated decision. If they appease the radicals, they stay out of the news where a mountain will be made out of a molehill. The only cost is potentially pushing a few conservatives away, but time has shown that is a far better monetary consequence than dealing with the media shitstorm if they did something contrary to the desired narrative.

It’s why every major company has made the same decision. If they thought appeasing conservatives made more money, they’d do that. They obviously think the money is better this way.

Or its inflation. People cant afford to buy as much when gas and food prices are sky high, and only going to get worse.

I think my decision to triple the size of my garden was a great idea.

Supply chain stuff and inflation are linked.

If it costs more to transport stuff and you get less of it, meaning scarcity, prices go up or you have shortages.

Yeah, his "gotcha" isn't completely correct, but your administration is the cause for the real reason.

Either way, you and your ilk are getting what you wanted. Congrats!

You'd be incorrect

Too many good people are sitting back & letting the loonies run shite.

To claim it is not a factor is foolish.

How much of a factor is certainly subject to debate.

You should prepare yourself. Earnings reporting season is going to be a bloodbath for a while. Thanks Biden!

They hate you want to enslave the world and sacrifice babies. Wish I was joking. Target upper management is but a cog in the wheel. You are looking at target as if they are separate from the evil that pervades DC and the rulers of DC.

Look at it from the perspective of a team. If target takes a hit. It isn't a huge deal because they are part of a much bigger team.

Their action show that this is true.

Whether Target succeeds or fails is immaterial to me.

I'll only step foot in there to drop a turd in one of their restrooms of my choosing.
