#4 Nearly everything in a Target store is made in China. I say good riddance.

#5 When blacks rioted and burned their outlets, they asked themselves why are they so upset and pander to their whims. When whites are boycotting their product they're simply dismissed as knuckle dragging bigoted troglodytes. The natives are agitated. If upper management doesn't quickly get a very serious 'head and spacing' adjustment they will inherent the wind. Tossing 30% of your market to appeal to 8 or .7% isn't good business.

#6 They aren't caught in the middle of anything. They took a side and an aggressive one at that. This isn't about some fruity rainbow T shirt. The garments in question generally have tranny propaganda slogans. Let's not overlook the coloring books for children as young as 2 years old.

Somebody, somewhere is sure spending an awful lot of multilayered resources on pushing this crap. This isn't the acceptance of mental illness or tolerance. This goes beyond championing or even celebrating this malignant sickness as well.

This is getting to be the storm troopers emptying every store and cafe out so the people can 'spontaneously' heil in the streets as the occupying force marches in.

#7 Target loses $10B in 10 days as stocks fall following boycott over ~~LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing~~ child sex slavery

When blacks rioted and burned their outlets the only things they didn't take were the GROQMER+ items.

#8 Speaking on his podcast Friday, the Republican said that while multiple alternatives exist to replace Anheuser-Busch’s brands, the same is not so for Target.

Bull-Shit. Generic chinese made crap is generic chinese crap.

#9 /\Generic chinese made crap is generic chinese crap.

I have a couple of coffee cans full of old fasteners. Both slotted screws and phillips head. The cans were family 'pass-downs' and many are 60+ years old. The screws were made with good quality steel and will generally not strip out if you use the correct sized tool, get a straight grip and seat on them.

Not so with the stuff you buy today. You know where it's manufactured, and you know how easily they strip out. I think the old US fastener companies are all gone now.

Wood and sheet metals screws, yes a small thing, but indicative of everything else I guess. Very sad in my opinion.

#10 A good set of screw extractors and rounded nut grabbers are a must nowadays.

#11 @#3 - We might need to start working on our social credit scores. With a CBDC waiting in the wings, we may not have a choice. Besides, just ask the Canadian truckers and their supporters from last year. Even GoFundMe was in bed with Ottawa.

#12 I don't have to boycott Target. The one nearest me went bust several years ago.

Ain't that the truth.

Been watching Band of Brothers, and it is so full of commercials it would be over if played straight and just finished Bastogne.

Interestingly, about 3/4 of the commercials are in a way direct competition to Target - home shopping options and food delivery.

One of the few remaining reasons somebody would want to go to the store would be to make sure clothing fits, and they just shit all over that.

Think we are past the point when stock decline could be due to solely looting. Sorry, "Declining Profit Margins."
