Target: Go woke and go broke

Remember when they "just want to be able to get married?". Seems so long ago.
 
Target has lost $10 billion in market capitalization in ten days....


Target's stock price has been falling since 2021. Was that due to "wokeness?"

Walmart's market cap has fallen $18 billion since May 13th. Is that also due to "wokeness?"

The amount of bullshit people throw around when it comes to stock prices is truly astounding.

largely due to the backlash over prominent LGBTQ+ PRIDE displays including transgender-friendly clothing items for children.
No, dude, that isn't what happened.

A handful of customers were berating and threatening store staff over the Pride displays, raising concerns at corporate that staff or customers would be targets of homophobic violence. They moved displays to the back of some stores. There was no boycott, that's just a bunch of grifters trying to tack onto the news reports.

According to a report published Sunday by The New York Post


Let us know when you can find a newspaper that's fit to wrap fish.
 
The stock has reached a 52-week low!
Target's stock peaked in October 2021. (It's still much higher than its pre-pandemic price.) Was that due to "wokeness?"
 
I don't care whether they are or not, what people are trying to tell progressives is that their sales pitch is getting a bit old.
Riiiight

I don;t care whether the little mermaid is purple, MAKE LESS MOVIES that have to have wokeism in them, because people are sick of having a damn political message in their entertainment and everything they do. The market is oversaturated.
Is that why The Little Mermaid dominated the box office this weekend? Why it was the 5th best Memorial Day Weekend launch for a film? The highest grossing film with a Black female lead?

Maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't conflate your preferences with what the public wants. Just a thought.
 
What's the over-under on Target's VP of marketing going on administrative leave, or resigning to spend more time with the family?
 
So what your saying is one can only push the bigots so far before the bigotry starts overflowing?
no I am saying you can only push society so far with your attempts at gaslighting before there is an inevitable distaste for your argument.

you want to know why people are having issues with what you are trying to sell? because your team won't STFU about it.

unfortunately, I believe you have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
 
Oh my goodness..... So you've been victimized by being forced to acknowledge trans folk exist.
You were forced to look at a pride display at Target (oh no!!)
Budweiser sent a beer can to a trans influencer and you've been unfairly fairly forced to acknowledge that happened. ( Oh the horror!!)
I don't know how you get through the day with all the "trans stuff" being jammed down your throat by all these evil Democrats.
But on the other hand....
The only people who care about the increased visibility of trans folk, are transphobic bigots.
Nobody else could give a shite.
You got that hypo?
 

LOL. "I think my husband has some for retirement."

Don't you think that is important to know?
 
Lies! Target is doing the American people a favor! Most people want their child to transition to another gender!
 
 
Oh look someone trying to twist a story.

In recent months, consumers have been spending more on services such as travel and entertainment, while cutting down on non-essential purchases including clothing and home goods amid high inflation.
 
This has nothing to do with being woke. You should read the article before you post it.

 
Oh look someone trying to twist a story.

Considering the shitstorm Target voluntarily walked into, i seriously doubt that consumer spending cuts is what's spilling red ink all over Target's balance sheets.

That's not what your article says. Is capitalist Forbes also woke? Released 12/Aug/23. The drop in sales is industry wide.

This is just more BS. There is no evidence that Target is specifically losing any money, profit due to the conservative temper tantrums.
