    Can someone name one conservative non "woke" retail outlet that trades for over $100 a share?

    If folks are actually threatenning them, thats not OK. It should be enough to just stop buying their crap and call them out.

    Unfortunately I think its just as likely that some morons are actually threatenning their workers safety as it is that Target would lie about threats as an 'out'.

    Either way, I'll continue not buying their crap.

    Without video you can safely assume that the Woke are lying. To them, simply holding a different view is 'threatening violence.'

    IT WAS FOR LITTLE CHILDREN.... That's where the out rage lies. Note This attempt to sexualize little kids has thus far cost target about nine billion. hopefully corporation will take the hint and LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE.

    But they're also threatening employees apparently. If you don't like the clothing choices then fine, but threatening people immediately puts you in the wrong and it just shows you're thinking more of Target than they're thinking of you.

    More importantly, is this really about the kids or is this about you older folks?

    Again that's B's the only possible threat to employees is job loss if target doesn't quit pissing on the over whelming number of their customers.

    I seriously doubt that. Remember lefty recently has defined violence as disagreeing with them.

    Target will be fine, and the overwhelming number of their customers don't give a sht about this and never will. If people is still threatening them over this, then they're the problem and they need to grow up.

    Yes, it kinda does. The original tie-dyed clothing of the hippies were personally tie-dyed by the hippies who wore the clothing.

    “Learn how to tie dye. Tie dying was a popular fabric trend in the ’60s, a symbol of free expression and the happy, hippie era. The tie dying technique makes a comeback every so often and it never loses its symbolic free-spirited, individuality through tie dye’s unique designs. Today you'll see tie dye worn by celebrities proving it is never really out of style. Continue reading to learn how to tie dye step by step with this easy tie dying for beginners guide.”

    My advice, as one of the older folks you speak of is…

    No one should be threatening employees. They have no control whatsoever over what is being sold in their place of employment.
    What is sold in their place of employment is always a decision made by the Corporation.

    DOUBLING DOWN: Internal email to Target employees reveals $9 BILLION in losses for one week, pivot to George Floyd anniversary.

    “Today brings more reflection, pain and the need for continued care as our team, hometown and world remember the murder of George Floyd. As you make space to take care of yourself and each other, know that you can always tap into these tools from Team Member LIfe Resources, and as Mental Health Awareness Month continues, turn to Take Five to Take Care hub for more wellbeing support.”

    You see, in their mind, it's them against 'the haters'.

    Agreed, as threatening the employees would just make them not wanna serve you even more and they're just trying to pay the bills and put gas in the car. Most of them probably don't even care about the clothes in the first place, which makes it more puzzling that they're getting threats.

    You got 1 out of a population of 3M transgenders in USA.
    https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/transgender-population-by-state

    What should we do about all the males in the country? Since they commit about 70% of all the violent crimes.

    So I ask the question again.
    Why do so many hate transgenders. They are not a violent group. Far far less violent than males.

    The only one sexualizing little kids is you. That's the only way you know how to think about any of this so you assume that must be the only way it can be thought about. Gender is not sexuality and regardless of how you feel about trans people and gender dysphoria, a parent who knows their child far FAR better than you making the decision to purchase this clothing for them is really none of your business and exists outside of whatever warped sexualized way you wish to view it.

    My advice, had nothing whatsoever to do with thinking about them not wanting to serve me. Yes, people work to earn a living. I don’t know what they think about the clothes. That doesn’t matter. The bottom line is they have no control over what is sold in their place of employment and should not be threatened. imho

    That’s because sports bras are not designed to fix that problem. They are designed to prevent jiggling during physical activities.

    An underwire bra with adjustable straps & firm padding can solve that problem. To make it easier to put the bra on… add a front closure.;)

    Yea, that sucks. The worker bees have almost no influence over company policy. All they do is take orders.

    Having the company fail financially is one way to get at the executives who are dreaming up and enacting the woke policies. The trouble is they often leave with golden parachutes when they fail. The worker bees get golden showers.

    WHAT WERE THEY HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH? (A higher ESG Score)

    Target Stock Plunges Amid Boycott Over Pride Month LGBTQ+ Merch For Children.

    'Tuck friendly' for children so that your little boys can hid their peckers between their legs and wear little girl clothes, is shocking the parents that were simply going there to shop, not get their children groomed to be cross dressers. The chest binders so that their little girls can squash their chests flat and dress like boys aren't the big hit they seemed to be expecting, either.

    'Target has lost $9 billion in market value since its 2023 “PRIDE” collection featuring LGBTQ-friendly products for children and babies sparked a backlash on social media.'

    'On May 17, Target’s stock closed at $160.96 a share, giving the Minneapolis-based retailer a market cap of $74.3 billion.'

    'As of early trading on Thursday, however, shares of the company were trading off at $141.76 — capping a weeklong tumble that has shrunk the “cheap chic” discount retailer’s value to $65.3 billion. That amounts to a whopping $9 billion off the company’s market capitalization.'

    It's down to $138.93, at the moment. That's another $Billion lost, so now, $10B down.

    Target’s partnership with Trans-Satanist designer Abprallen has further inflamed conservative shoppers. Abprallen’s designs features occult imagery and messages like “Satan respects pronouns” and “Burn down the cis-tem” on its merchandise.'

    Get Woke!
    Go Broke!

    [​IMG]
    This Abprallen guy, another level beyond Dylan Mulvaney.

    'Target CEO Brian Cornell dismissed the growing backlash to “woke” capitalism, saying that marketing LGBTQ+ products is good for business and “the right thing for society.”'

    Well, he has his ideas and we have ours. Will he attack his customers? Yes. He claims they are 'knocking down Pride displays at some stores, angrily confronting employees, and posting “threatening videos on social media from inside the stores.”'

    Remember, with the Woke Folks, disagreeing with them, or even not agreeing quickly enough is violence. "Silence is Violence", you know.

    The smart ones are already looking for a new job. In a healthy economy, that's a pretty simple thing. A bad economy is bad for everything- even boycotting hurts the common folk.
