Target looks at their billions dollar losses and says..."uhm nope"

I doubt Target has lost billions and if they have will take the position that it is only temporary, which gives them the excuse to continue their damaging woke policies. FJB and the WOKE community.

It's around 12 billion... doubt all you want but it is. I'm hearing stockholders are calling for the CEOs head.

You had better look it up... all stores sales are down because of the poor economy... but none have dropped harder and more than Target has...

Apples and Oranges. Retail losses and stock prices are two different things. Target stock will rebound as long as sales do the same.

If retail sales were up their stack value wouldn't be falling like a rock... I don't know where you went to school to learn economics but you are wrong... they are not two different unrelated things.... both are entwined and related.... one goes up the other follows and so on....

Dude Target is floundering on Wall Street. It's getting shellacked

This can't be happening. They told us all they wanted was equal rights. They never said a word about being nasty bullies.

If this wasn't hurting Target why did they try and hide their cross gender line of clothes?.... in some areas of the country they have removed the entire line of tuck clothes....

Wishing and hoping isn't a very good business model. When you lie down with pigs, don't be surprised if you smell like one.

Target is way off target... they know it... they listened to their 20 something new hires and screwed themselves... just like Transhiser Busch....

Target's stock has been softening for awhile. The weird controversy now just seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I don't invest in them, but seem to have read a few different articles in the past 6 months about them being loaded down with too much unsold inventory that they somehow amassed in the midst of the shortages and such since COVID.

Maybe the LGBTQ Community would not feel that leaning on corporations was necessary if it were not for what is going on overall. The backlash against LGBT people has been likened to a new Jim Crow era:

America’s Largest LGBTQ Advocacy Group Issues A Stark Warning

LGBTQ+ Americans are facing "real, tangible and dangerous" threats, said Human Rights Campaign CEO Kelley Robinson.

www.huffpost.com

“LGBTQ+ Americans are living in a state of emergency. The multiplying threats facing millions in our community are not just perceived — they are real, tangible and dangerous,” Kelley Robinson, the group’s CEO, said in a statement.

HRC also released a report on Tuesday that details the real-life impact of the more than 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills that have been introduced across state legislatures this year. Nearly half of the bills targeted transgender people.

More than 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were signed into law this year alone. This legislation has already made everyday life difficult for LGBTQ+ people as Republican-controlled legislatures have banned trans athletes from participating in sports, restricted access to gender-affirming care for trans youth and some adults, and banned the discussion of gender and sexuality in classrooms.

The lgbtpq+++ has to be forced into ceasing conversion demands. They don't like it.

So, of course the solution to that is to stock up, and advertise, a line of merchandise that nobody actually wants.

Right.

Because being black is exactly comparable to being a fucked-up, depraved sexual pervert.
