Target loses $9 billion due to backlash from trans kids clothing

[SassyIrishLass]

It's all blown out of proportion in America and that makes this just another instance of Americans fighting each other in their rush to destroy themselves and their own country's economy.

More like Americans are drawing a line

Walmart is only down $4 a share this past week, which is a little under 3%. The Home Depot is down slightly over half a percent this past week. Target is down 12% from a short term high on 5/16. The news about this clothing first broke a few days prior to that. I think you're fooling yourselves to believe this hasn't had an impact.

If you've ever watched the market long term, you know that Target aint sweating the stock price, and neither is Bud Light. They'll weather it, but their reputation takes a hit with a fairly small percentage of the population, which everyone knows will move on to the next outrage in a few weeks. BL is in much worse shape in regards to losing face with the base.

I don't reject any explanations for what is happening.

We're not talking about a slight seasonal correction here, we're talking the bottom dropping out. In this case correlation is causation. My Lord, I do hope you have a professional handling your financial affairs.

A little premature to start writing their obituary. But whatever floats your dinghy.

People are fed up with a miniscule population's bs.

People are fed up with messing with children

People are fed up period

Yes, I know and that's what makes it so scary and dangerous.

I'm lactose intolerant. Doing some research the claim is over 30% of consumers are also lactose intolerant. One would think with that many people who are, stores and industry would cater to such a large group, but they really don't.

I can find lactose free milk but outside of that, not much else at my grocers or drug store. Ice cream? You can find it but very few choices; usually less than five flavors and no lactose free ice cream bars or ice cream sandwiches. Just ice cream in a container and that's it.

Point is with industry, it takes a large consumer base to make it worth their money to carry such products. If they are catering to tiny groups of people, without a doubt they are doing so for reasons outside of normal business standards, in this case purely political.

Creating lactose free products is an expensive process and one that many companies are not set up to do.

That is not really the same thing as putting someone face on a single beer can or making slight alterations to a swimsuit that already exist.

Do you all have an App or something to help you keep track of all the things you are not allowed to do and all the things you are not allowed to buy?

No app, just a moral upbringing and common sense

The list has to be in the hundreds by now. I bet you slip up all the time if you do not have an App to help you out.

With pathetic spin like what you replied to… I think multivita-man is Chuck Todd’s burner account

Why are you so mad at people making choices on where they shop?

Yes, I would agree with that.

Not mad in the least, just trying to figure out how you people keep track of it all.

Target hasn't lost $9 billion dollars.

Because you bought all their tuck inventory.

If a stock goes down, is it the company that issued the stock, or the people that own the stock that lose money (if they sell it while it is down)?

What I don't think they understand, and I speak as one who holds some conservative views, is that not matter how many battles they think they win, it is a war they can't win. They are fighting against human beings who want nothing more than to be treated as such, it will happen regardless of any protests and boycotts. The conservatives finding outrage in the situation lack pragmatism. There are other hills to die on that are more important that granting a very small percentage of humans rights they should not have to fight for.

Whom exactly? And what Rights, exactly..?

It's certainly possible that it had an impact, but there are many factors that go into the gyrations of a stock price. There's the market itself, there's earnings, there's the timing of trades...no single factor. If I were a Target investor I wouldn't lose sleep over angry butthurt MAGA-tards.
