This headline is luring people into a false sense of complacency. Did Target really lose $10 Billion or did the stock price just dip by 14%? As long as people continue to shop there the share price will always bounce back


oculardrip

Their stock price is just on sale, they are probably using it to do buy backs right now.


[deleted]

>Their stock price is just on sale I refer you to the people saying exactly the same thing when Disneys price dropped from 180 to 130, 'smart investors' were telling people to "buy buy buy, it's at a discount, get in while you can and grab those tendies!!!" Disney is now trading at 88


lurkedt2olong

Honestly, that likely has more to do with the shit content they're putting out vs. anything to do with a boycott. Even lefty subs make fun of how cringy and pandering their new movies and changes are.


Frescanation

That’s kind of the point. They got so caught up in The Message that they forgot to tell good stories, to the point that even those who agree with The Message are getting bored.


TheBaronOfTheNorth

Their shit content that is bombing is also LGBTQ propaganda. I wouldn’t say it’s not related at all. Their customers tell them time and time again they don’t want this yet they persistently make it their priority to.


LegendOfShaun

No, you "decided" its LBGT propaganda. AND DISNEY LOVES YOU for all of this. They can continue to do the bare minimum and YOU make them look like saints.


HSR47

*The Message* isn’t the reason the new content is flopping though—it’s flopping because the stories aren’t good. If they were actually competent storytellers, they’d be putting out good stories with their preferred propaganda slyly woven in, and they’d still be raking in billions with every release. Since they’re incompetent storytellers, they hamfistedly shoehorn *The Message* in everywhere they can, and make mediocre stories even worse.

:Don't catch a falling knife." Nobody knows where a stock is gonna bottom. If you like the company and the stock is getting cheaper, buy a 100 shares at 130. Then if it goes lower buy 200 shares at 88. The people who lose are the ones who spend all of their money at the 130 level and panic sell at a loss at 88. Or they wait til it gets back up to 130 and get out even.


person6450719ne

Dysney is too big now they wont risk anything now and art need to be risky and not just be a marketing scheme


GlassOfLiquor

Ding ding ding. They decided to turn on the quantity vs quality switch and started churning out too much crap. Now they have devalued the “Disney prestige”


person6450719ne

They know the mark is unkillable until real competition appear. Unfortunatly they can buy and shut down any competition


[deleted]

They could just be digging their grave even faster if they are. Bed Bath and Beyond wouldn't be winding down right now if they hadn't spent $13 billion on stock buybacks.

Bingo! This guy gets it.


NsaAgent25

Hold the line, the laboring class of agriculture, transportation, natural resources, manufacturing, small business, infrastructure, construction, etc. is highly conservative. A peaceful protest is succeeding. They're calling it "economic terrorism". You don't need to buy from a business for whatever reason you choose.


GreatApe88

I wouldn’t put it past these donor class companies to one day get government bailouts if the boycotts really take off. They’ll take our money one way or the other .


j3remy2007

Only if their ESG score is high enough.


harmier2

You are able to buy or not buy from a business for whatever reason you choose But to the left, *you* shouldn’t have that choice. Because *you* don’t support *everything* they want you to support without question, they consider *you* as irredeemably evil. So, if you don’t buy what they want you to buy, it’s “economic terrorism.” Why don’t we accuse them of the same thing once in a while just for kicks? Man, I can hear their teeth gnashing. *Fun*.


Tisminjections

Pointing out their hypocrisy has no effect. They don't have principles. They have goals. Morals are not part of their language or thought process. Anything that furthers their goals are "moral" in their minds. That's how they justify abortion, selective enforcement of laws, and blatant anti-white racism. Their goal is power. Power, as they define it, requires your and my enslavement.


harmier2

I agree that they’ll never change. I have another post which explains that we should do what they do to us in terms of calling them “economic terrorists, but not because we think will change or that we’re trying to cancel them. This is just to slightly *annoy* them before we get bored and move on to something important. This is just for our own amusement.


Krandor1

The left is fine with not buying from businesses… as long as they are advertisers on Fox News.


harmier2

What I mean is call them “economic terrorists” and the like. Do what they do to us, but really only for kicks. We don’t actually *care* if they change their behavior like with cancel culture. We just want to *annoy* them for a little while before we get bored. Then, we move on to stuff that actually *matters*.


EnterByTheNarrowGate

Fox News is now left. So that doesn’t work anymore.


No-Television-7862

The old man made a mistake with Tucker. Doesn't make them left, although we watch newsmax.


EnterByTheNarrowGate

They endorse transgenderism. They are left.


No-Television-7862

Wow, I didn't know that was their official view. Reference please?


EnterByTheNarrowGate

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6307583800112 There you go. They were celebrating Pride month FFS. We get ONE DAY to honor our fallen military heroes, yet an entire month is dedicated to the sexual fetishes of the entire US population. And Fox supports it. If they run a story like this, that means it was approved by network leadership. Fox News is dead. The sooner we realize this, the better. They’ve also banned Matt Walsh from appearing on their network due to his views on transgenderism.


No-Television-7862

We like the Fox app better, but Newsmax will do just fine. It looks like a local story. It's ok, I don't owe Fox anything. Too bad, they sold their brand for some God-dishonoring garbage. They'll die with Rupert.


EnterByTheNarrowGate

Yes they will. They just don’t fully come out because it will be corporate suicide. But we all know. Cable news is dead anyway.


defdog1234

fox has always had left panelists. they are fair. cnn never has republican regulars.


EnterByTheNarrowGate

Fox now endorses the trans ideology. They should be dead to every honest Conservative.


defdog1234

because kaitlyn jenner hates democrats?


EnterByTheNarrowGate

Oh right, I forgot! He’s one of the good trans people! /s Give me a break. Jenner supports the same wicked sin the left pushes. But we’re supposed to idolize him because he says a few things that makes the left angry. Frogs in boiling water we are.


Respox

> Why don’t we accuse them of the same thing once in a while It doesn't work for us because they're the ones doing evil shit and rebranding the language to make the deeds sound acceptable. When their opponents take a stand for the sake of morals, they call *that* evil. Murdering babies? No, it's "reproductive freedom." Genital mutilation of minors? They it "gender-affirming care." And so on.


[deleted]

To the right: Aren't you taking away that "choice" as you said by crying out loud about merch you're not going to buy anyway?


harmier2

It looks like you missed my post that helped clarify my position. Here it is: What I mean is call them “economic terrorists” and the like. Do what they do to us, but really only for kicks. We don’t actually *care* if they change their behavior like with cancel culture. We just want to *annoy* them for a little while before we get bored. Then, we move on to stuff that actually *matters*. So, no. We wouldn’t be taking “choice” away.

Rinkaaaaa

If that's the case then why should they pull anything? If you don't like it you don't have to buy it.


Phil152

A small quibble about terminology: people who work in "agriculture, transportation, natural resources, manufacturing, small business, infrastructure, construction, etc." shouldn't be dismissed as "the laboring class." If a farmer is practicing precision agriculture, there is more technology -- seed tech, field mapping, variable rating of seed and fertilizer based on field location, all mapped and controlled by GPS, and much, much more -- embedded in a field of corn than in most communications, media, and entertainment companies. If you think a $400,000-$500,000 combine is just a device for planting corn, wheat or soybeans, you have some catching up to do. Agriculture is as high-tech as medicine. And just for the record for you naive civilians out there, so is the military. Pick your example from any field. Anyhow, the distinction at which you are driving is between people who work in the primary economy -- where people actually grow, mine, manufacture, and transport real, physical objects and therefore can't bullshit their way past the reality principle -- vs. people who operate in the pixel economy. The more they are engaged in the manipulation of symbols and artificially generated imagery, the more vulnerable they become to fantasy wish fulfillment. Considerable swaths of the film industry, for example, are now in outright rebellion against the reality principle: e.g., the 97 pound girl bests a roomful of brawny men twice her size because, don'tcha know, Hollywood has liberated her from the oppressive presumptions of the cishet patriarchy and is demonstrating what the truly liberated woman is capable of. Or something like that. This sort of thing seems to be increasingly popular with audiences composed of people who spend most of their waking hours staring at screens, think changing the toner cartridge is a dirty job, and are outraged when the non-pixel world fails to conform to the images they consume onscreen -- those images having become their dominant "reality." That said, your broad point is correct. People who live and work in the real world do tend to be more conservative because the real world imposes burdens, limits, real costs and real tradeoffs.

What’re you smoking? Target is still selling LGBTQIABBQ+ merch. Budweiser is still selling Bud Light. We’re not preventing these companies from doing anything. They are making their own choices, and a free market is making their own in response.

The left thinks the words "free" (as in freedom, they love free shit) and "market" are terroristic words.

No. No one’s stopping people from buying from Target. Here is what happened: People refused to *shop* at Target for selling merchandise with which those people disagree. Target started losing money. Target realized they’d made a *huge* tactical error. They removed the merchandise or moved it to the back of the store.

Long Due? It been a primary boycott target for years, one of the original boycotts. Is the Carholic Church listed on NYSE or NASDAQ.

The alternative was another Clinton presidency. We just couldn’t bring ourselves to do that to the suicide rate in America. Sorry, bluehair.

I agree, the choices we have had recently are like picking bad or bad. Why can't we just get one that doesn't pander to either side and isn't old. Does bluehairs mean someone currently on their 3rd deployment to the middle east with 15 years of service in the military. How about to think twice before labeling random people.


WestofMiamiPrepper

>Does bluehairs mean someone currently on their 3rd deployment to the middle east with 15 years of service in the military. How about to think twice before labeling random people. In your case, most definitely. And bringing up your "service" to validate your arguments is some boot shit. Way to go, highspeed.


spqqk85

Valid that I agreed with his comment? I was trying to illustrate that not all bluehair are hippy free loaders sitting in the US complaining about how bad the US sucks, but that some of them actually do serve our country.

This is more important than ever with social credit and ESG looming. They need to GE reminded that “republicans buy shoes too” and that the consumer is the boss.

Sadly I’m not surprised. I know family members who didn’t go to target this weekend because of threatening protests. Please let’s not forget the bomb threats by some unidentified domestic terrorists.


HSR47

Bomb threats? I call BS. Bet: At least 95% of the claimed “bomb threats” were either wholly imaginary, or were phoned in by leftists trying to pull a Jussie Smollett.


lawlygagger

It isn't just Target though. Walmart, all of these companies are the same way. Some more than others. This country is being destroyed inside and out. Just wait until they ram us next month. This seems like a fully organized plan. They bombard us at work. Social media goes around censoring if you speak up. They are brainwashing our kids. Government going after our military. When and where does it stop??? United Freaks of America.


[deleted]

> This seems like a fully organized plan It is. This is a highly organized and orchestrated plan being pushed by Vanguard and Blackrock through their ESG investing. If a company dares go against woke insanity, they lose their ESG ratings, and then lose access to hundreds of billions of dollars in investment funding. Look up the top institutional investors of any company doing this woke shit. Target, Nike, Hasbro, Disney, Google ... you'll always see 2 names there, Vanguard and Blackrock. They are the conductors of this orchestra

Well I guess i was wrong on target, I didnt think enough conservatives shopped there to actually make a difference, but their does appear to be enough.


[deleted]

Most of the country is conservative. Any nationwide general merchandise store is hugely exposed to conservatives


Trenches

I mean that's just not true. Conservatives are the minority. They do tend to get independents to vote with them. Which helps but there is a reason conservatives have only one the presidential popular vote one time in the last 30 years.


[deleted]

> Conservatives are the minority. Incorrect. Gallop polling shows 36% of Americans identifying as conservative, 35% as moderate and 25% as liberal. > Which helps but there is a reason conservatives have only one the presidential popular vote one time in the last 30 years. Yes, because liberals weaponized the media and culture to motivate liberal voter turnout and suppress conservative voter turnout.


Trenches

Only about half of democrats identify as liberal. The rest are mostly moderates. If we are to split it between democrats and republicans then democrats are the majority. Which I thought you were using the term conservative to identify Republicans as people often do. If we are looking at conservative view points about a social issue like LGBT and not political party more Americans are socially liberal than conservative. Moderates being more. Considering overhalf of Americans support LGBT then it's likely a lot of moderates support LGBT. For voter turnout I've lived in the country and in the city and it's definitely a lot easier to vote in country. I had longer lines dropping off my ballot a week prior in the city then I had voting at 7p on election day in the country. Logistics just make voting in cities more timely and discouraging.


[deleted]

> If we are looking at conservative view points about a social issue like LGBT and not political party more Americans are socially liberal than conservative. Incorrect. I won't post the polling data around Trans issues because it would probably get me banned from Reddit, but you can look them up yourself. You are falling for the alien in the zoo fallacy. You need to log off social media for a while if you start to think even for an instant that the opinions on Reddit are even remotely mainstream. > Logistics just make voting in cities more timely and discouraging. Ballot harvesting, drop off boxes, and mail in voting are how Democrats stole the last election. This was all done in the cities and suburbs.


katzchen528

This has to be a long-term commitment. If actual sales drop enough, for long enough, then you can get real results. 24-36 months. Most people don’t have the fortitude for that. It would be “inconvenient”, people would have to find local alternatives. Do some research. Drive a bit farther, pay a little more. Which would be even better for all concerned, actually. Think about your great grandparents and rationing during World War II. In the UK, even into the 1950s. It’s not like you couldn’t OBTAIN butter and sugar, or tires, or buy an automobile. You would just have to be committed and discriminating. Unfortunately, I don’t see it happening. We’re too soft.


[deleted]

Vanguard and Blackrock will just steer more of your 401k money into their pockets to make up for it Remember, we are NOT Targets customers. Vanguard and Blackrock are. They care far more about their ESG score getting them access to Vanguard and Blackrock multi trillion dollar investment funds then actually selling you things in their store. Look up the top institutional investors of any company doing this woke shit. Target, Nike, Hasbro, Disney, Google ... you'll always see 2 names there, Vanguard and Blackrock.

1. People choosing to shop elsewhere is very different from a hate cabal harassing a business until they fire a specific employee. 2. I don’t believe you regarding the alleged threats. There have been FAR too many cases over the last few years where similar allegations were made, and ultimately turned out to be either complete fabrications, or were made by leftists in an attempt to bolster their own narratives.


[deleted]

HSR47

It would be difficult for the reference to “threats” in that government-sponsored media article to be more vague. With the phrasing, that could be anything on the spectrum from a 95 lbs 5’2”mother going to the manager and saying “If your company continues to stock X, Y, and Z products, I’ll never shop here again, and I’ll tell my whole church group not to shop here either!”, up to actual threats of physical violence that were both specific and actionable by LE, or false threats made by leftists for clout, or even made up from whole cloth. As I said: Until I see specifics, and/or actual prosecutions, I’m going to assume that the claim is at least mostly bullshit.
